The Loar LM-310F-BRB

Great Mandolin

After about 4 months playing this great instrument I can say that the sound is amazing. It requires a little truss rod adjustment, The fret work is not excellent but good enough for an average player. The intonation is awesome. It stays in tune for ages. I have equipped it with K and K pickup and the sound is just flawless. It cuts through nicely. I can see me playng this beauty for a long time.

A real pretty little thing

Always wanted the Gibson by Lloyd Loar designed that one so bought an affordable Loar - lovely great set up out of the box just need to practice more now!

Beautiful sounding mandoline

The Loar LM-310F-BRB - I great sounding mandolineto this price tag. Beautiful finish, and easy to play. Using it in my studio.

Good sounding (for average players ears) quality finishing, beautiful instrument.

Truss rod is unreachable

Can't adjust the neck relief on this mandolin due to the design of the neck and peghead. Major snafu on Loar's part.

Best I could find for the price!

I wanted, and got, an inexpensive F shape that plays in tune, sounds much better than other cheap instruments around £200, has some chop, and looks good. Only disappointment is that the bottom G strings sound a bit tinny, but would have to pay double the price to improve on that. Feels solidly built, and no problems after 6 months hard playing!
