Loar LM-520 Performer F-Style Mandolin Vintage Sunburst Finish w/ Case

This Loar LM-520 Performer F-Style Mandolin is in very good condition. It has been well cared for and well played by its original owner and does shows some light playwear including some pick swirls and some fine scratches on the top and face of the headstock. Overall, the mandolin is otherwise clean and free from any large dings or gouges. This mandolin has been professionally set up and plays great! The neck is straight, the action is low and comfortable, and the frets are in excellent condition. This mandolin will come complete with a very nice Gator Hardshell Case as pictured. Awesome deal on a fantastic playing and sounding Loar LM-520 Performer F-Style Mandolin in a gorgeous Vintage Sunburst finish!

The hand-carved LM-520 F-model mandolin is our response to players' requests for a great-sounding, high-value mandolin with low key appointments.

The LM-520 is carefully assembled in the same hand-carved workshop that gave birth to the industry-leading LM-700-VS, and has a similar hand-carved, fully graduated spruce top. The solid maple back is also hand-carved, and the solid maple sides complete the all-solid package. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded "V" profile finished with a padauk fretboard. The compensated adjustable ebony bridge and high quality vintage-style Grover tuning machines insure that these mandolins have great intonation and stay in tune no matter how hard they are played.

Perfect for players who want a high-quality, great-sounding hand-carved mandolin but don't need all of the bells and whistles, these minimally appointed instruments deliver the high-end tone, chop and projection mandolin players have come to expect from The Loar.
