Description

NEW OLD STOCK The Loar LM-220-VS Mandolin All Solid Wood A-Model with F-Holes
BEST 0 MANDO EVER!
If you already know about this model, then you know that it was far and away the best 0 mandolin to ever come out of the eastern hemisphere. This mandolin sounds better than most mandolins that sell for 00 or more. These mandolins rarely come up for sale, and this one is in new, unused condition.
This mandolin does not include a case, but we have many for sale including hard shell and soft case gig bags, both new and used.
Solidly built, with a clean tone, this Loar mandolin is a higher quality instrument than it may let on. Solid maple and spruce construction, with streamlined ivoroid binding and nickel hardware, Grover tuners and a very thin polyurethane finish give this instrument both build quality and tonal excellence. Fully set up and ready to go, this mandolin has a warm and inviting tone and is very easy to fret and play. A fantastic mandolin in all aspects- from looks to sound.
With hand-shaped x-bracing and stripped down appointments, the hand-carved LM-220 gives players the sound they’ve come to expect from The Loar.
The LM-220 is assembled with a solid hand-carved spruce top and solid maple back and sides. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded v-profile to fit in the hand perfectly. For players who prefer a more streamlined look, the LM-220 has a single layer of ivoroid binding. High-quality Grover tuners, nickel hardware and an extremely thin lacquer finish all combine to make this professional-quality instrument an amazing value.
