Loar Honey Creek A-Style Mandolin In Satin Brownburst

Here’s what Loar say about the Honey Creek A-Style Mandolin:

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.

Key Features

• Hand-Carved Solid Spruce Top
• Maple Neck with Thin ”V” Profile
• 1-1/8” Nut Width
• Satin Brownburst Finish

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.
