Per its manufacturer (paraphrased): Hand-carved and graduated from solid select tonewoods and featuring a lightweight nitrocellulose finish for incredible projection, The Loar’s outstanding all-solid mandolin is an interpretation of its historical antecedent. The LM-600VS is a mandolin you need to hear – the hand-buffed tobacco sunburst nitro-cellulose finish provides a vintage sheen and a bluegrass “bark” that will even impress your furry friends at the Bide-a-Wee Shelter.
This professional model features a hand-carved spruce top, solid carved highly flamed maple sides and back, a one-piece maple neck with a “rounded V” profile if that’s not an oxymoron. It has a bound rosewood fretboard and an abalone and mom-o-pearl custom inlaid flowerpot on the headstock. The package includes a featherweight carrying case with an embroidered logo. Other specifications that we knew you’d want to know include that the fingerboard is rosewood with ivoroid binding, the scale length is 13 29/32”, it has 29 frets, an adjustable truss rod, a floating ebony bridge. It measures 6 ¾” at the upper bout, 10” at the lower, with a depth of 2 ½”. It has a bone nut that measures 1 2/16th”, a body length of 12 ¾”, a total length of 27 ¼” (this is just in case somebody asks you) and the tuners were made by Gotoh.
