2010s Loar LM-600 F-Style Mandolin

Overview: I see quite a few Loar-brand mandolins come through the shop every year for setups and fretwork an the like and they do sound nice and most have been played really hard and loved as they tend to be a player's "first upgrade" instrument. This LM-600 has the poppy, choppy sound and it also looks a treat -- very-much following that F-5 tradition right down to the super-long fretboard extension and headstock inlay bling. It has a bit of wear and tear but is in good order.

Repairs included: This got a good setup and restring and it's playing spot-on and ready to go.
