The Loar LM-310FE-BRB Honey Creek F-style Acoustic-electric Mandolin
8-string F-style Acoustic-electric Mandolin with Spruce Top, Maple Back and Sides, Maple Neck, and Padauk fingerboard - Satin Brownburst
Modern-day Mandolin, Classic Design
As their name would suggest, The Loar craft exemplary mandolins with hand-carved tops made from solid tonewoods, bringing a wealth of fantastic tones to country, bluegrass, folk, Americana, and more. Specifically, the LM-310FE Honey Creek F-style Mandolin offers a playing experience you can’t beat. Its gorgeous hand-carved solid spruce top, maple neck, back, and sides, and padauk fretboard bring rich tone with plenty of projective punch to the table. You’ll find this mandolin supremely comfortable to play with its Thin "V"-shaped neck carve that sits easily in the hand and a unique fretboard design that makes fretting all the easier. Paired with a clear and accurate Fishman pickup, this mandolin sings out with a voice that stuns. Seriously, this is one mandolin you need to play for yourself.
Superb craftsmanship that really sings
Pick up a mandolin from The Loar and you’ll quickly see the dedicated craftsmanship on each of their models. By choosing hard-carved tops, a Loar mandolin sings out with that classic 1920s sound that made the company’s namesake famous in the industry. But don’t be fooled: this mandolin has all the gumption to cut through a modern-day ensemble. It also receives help from a unique longitudinal tone bar bracing to enhance its sound. Also unique to The Loar, the LM-310FE Honey Creek F-style Mandolin has a fretboard that doesn’t extend past the 20th fret, allowing players to concentrate on the music and not get hung up on the upper frets. Sweetwater musicians have found the graceful curves of this mandolin bespeak the delightful sound inside!
A stunning Fishman Nashville Series pickup
The LM-310FE Honey Creek F-style Acoustic-electric Mandolin is outfitted with a Fishman Nashville Series mandolin pickup that provides excellent plugged-in tone. This little puppy rests right at the bridge of the mandolin, outputting clear and accurate tone whether you’re playing a long gig or just practicing at home. Fishman designed this pickup to measure up to the requirements of the modern age like modern signal chains and amps. The Loar mandolins may knock your audience out of their seats unplugged, but arm-in-arm with a Fishman pickup, you’ll see what it can really do.
