The Loar - LM-520 F-Style Mandolin All Solid & Hand Carved w\HSC List Price $799

OVERVIEW No frills, just a hand-carved, fully graduated spruce top and a hand-carved maple back for optimal tone. The hand-carved LM-520 F-model mandolin is the response to players' requests for a value priced mandolin with more stripped down appointments yet a similar sound to the best-selling Loar LM-600 mandolin.

The 520 is carefully assembled in the same hand-carved workshop that gave birth to the LM-400 and LM-700, and have similar hand-carved, fully graduated spruce tops. The solid maple back and sides of each instrument is also hand carved for unmatched quality of construction. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded V profile finished with a rosewood fret board. The compensated adjustable ebony bridge and high quality vintage-style Grover tuning machines insure that these mandolins have great intonation and stay in tune no matter how hard they are played.

Perfect for players who want a high-quality, great-sounding hand-carved mandolin but don't need all of the bells and whistles, these minimally appointed instruments deliver the high-end tone, and projection the music community has come to expect from The Loar.

HONEY CREEK A-STYLE MANDOLIN – BROWN BURST

List Price: $399.99

Authentic mandolin "chop" is recognizable from the first strum, and can only be found in an instrument with a true, hand-carved spruce top. The Loar hand-carved the tops of the LM-110 to provide that real 1920's sound, but with enough vibration to still cut through in today's ensemble playing.

The thin "V" profile of the maple neck fits comfortably in the player's hand and our removal of the fretboard extension beyond the 20th fret allows for easy strumming without getting hung up on the extended upper frets.

The original and authentic A-model body shape is quite simply a longstanding favorite.

Recording King RPH-R2-E Dirty 30's Minnie Bucker Single O Resonator Acoustic Electric Guitar - Black

List Price $499 The all new Minnie Bucker resonator is packed with down-low, dirty, swampy tone, thanks to the hand-spun European resonator cone and great sounding mini humbucker in the neck. If you’re looking to add a bit of grit to your playing, the Minnie Bucker’s mini humbucker can go from just a swampy touch of dirt, to crazy blues crunch. The responsive pickup helps tone freaks like you dial in the perfect tone using only your hands. Adding a pickup would mean nothing if these guitars didn’t start with the most fundamental building blocks of great resonator tone. The top-shelf Recording King hand-spun European resonator cone delivers classic throaty, honky resonator goodness. (Always check your cones, make sure your next resonator has a spun cone, never stamped! --Travis Atz, RK Director of Product) Likewise, the small body design pairs perfectly with the pedestal soundwell and 12-fret neck joint for a guitar that’s lively, loud and resonant, but small enough to take anywhere. It sounds great acoustically too, thanks to a spruce soundboard and a biscuit bridge, so you’ll have all the classic reso sound on tap whether you plug in or not. SPECIFICATIONS:

Recording King Dirty 30's A-Style Mandolin

AVAILABLE VIA SPECIAL ORDER

The Dirty 30s Mandolin is the perfect instrument for troubadours, songwriters or multi-instrumentalists who want a mandolin that delivers classic old-time sound without the price tag of a vintage instrument. We’ve focused on details that other builders in this price range overlook: the f-holes have been specifically shaped for sound aperture and the 1-¾” body depth was chosen specifically to accentuate its tonal capabilities. The solid spruce top gives it classic chop and projection, and the maple back and sides balance brightness and warmth for traditional old-time playing.

For vintage mojo, it’s stained tobacco sunburst, covered by a thin satin finish. The classic A-style body connects to a comfortable C-shaped neck with an authentic mini-Recording King Jubilee headstock. Ivory tuners and classy MOP fretboard dots give it a rustic but refined look.
