Sound Pure's Take
Solid mando for the moolah! AAA woods, handcarved top, fresh setup from the luthier. From festival weekends to Fridays on the porch, this one's going to be hard to beat!
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The LM-700 is a tribute to classic design techniques. From the hand-carved, hand graduated AAA spruce top and AAA Flamed Maple back and sides to the abalone/mother-of-pearl headstock inlay, these mandolins were built to represent Golden Age craftsmanship updated for the modern era.
Carved and assembled in the Loar Hand Carved Design Workshop, then hand-rubbed with an extra thin poly finish for clean warm tone and powerful projection, these mandolins deliver professional-level sound and playability.
The LM-700 is assembled with a one-piece maple neck and bound ebony fretboard, ebony bridge and vintage-style Gotoh tuners. The bone nut and ebony bridge allow for the singing sustain and sharp "chop" that professional players look for in a high-quality mandolin.
