From the sister company to Paris Swing, The Loar introduces an all-solid wood "Golden Age" style mandolin. Homage to the the spirit of the rare and cost-prohibitive vintage mandolins of yesteryear, the new F body mandolin from The Loar has high-end features at a truly affordable price (List $799.99!). Featuring premium solid spruce top, solid highly-flamed maple back and sides, a flamed maple neck, premium Grover tuners, and an ebony fretboard and bridge, designer Greg Rich has really outdone himself on this one.
Geared toward the mandolin traditionalist, vintage white plastic binding borders the entire instrument with an added black and white inlay on the top, back, headstock, fingerboard and pickguard. The pickguard is the same tortoise-shell plastic as the vintage original, and a reproduction tailpiece with an engraved cover divides the string pressure in the correct manner.
The Loar, a division of The Music Link, is the leader in handcrafted musical instruments inspired by the Golden Age.
