The Loar LM-549 Contemporary F-Style Mandolin Matte Black Finish

The Loar LM-549-BKM brings the Contemporary series look to a bluegrass F-style: a satin black top over a vintage burgundy back and sides, trimmed in ivoroid binding. Under the modern finish it is a genuine all-solid instrument, with a hand-carved solid spruce top and hand-carved figured maple back and sides voiced for the crisp bark and chop that F-style players want.

The figured maple neck carries a rounded V profile and a flat-radius padauk fretboard with a bone nut, while nickel tuners with ivory buttons and an adjustable ebony bridge keep it playing in tune. A stealthy, all-solid F-style at a working-player price.
