Loar
LM-600-VS
|
| Best value in a Loar-style mando! |
| The name Lloyd Loar is synonymous with superb mandolin building. As an acoustic engineer employed by Gibson in the 1920s, the instruments with his signature now command prices approaching a quarter of a million dollars. Today, many luthiers have tried to emulate the Loar tone with varying degrees of success. This version is perhaps the best value in a Loar style instrument. Created by the legendary Greg Rich, and made overseas, the same carved Spruce top and carved Maple back & sides of the original Loar instruments are evident here, at a far more affordable price. With hard case. |

Larrivee A-33
|
| Plenty of bark 'n bite! |
| Jean Larrivee has been involved in a lifelong pursuit for perfection. His mandolins, which he started building a few years back, have now evolved to a point where they are serious contenders for the favorite sounding instrument for the 8 string cognoscenti. Big sounding, with plenty of the old bark and bite that the Bluegrassers desire, yet sweet enough to please the classical player too. Meticulously crafted from Master Grade Flamed Maple for the neck and back & sides , and Master Grade Sitka Spruce for the top, this is one to consider for your next 'really, really good' mandolin. With hard case. |

Red Line Traveler 1
|
| Great sounding, great looking, affordable! |
| Steve Smith of Cumberland Acoustics is dedicated to producing the most sound for the least money. Just like his resonator guitars, the Traveler series of mandolins sound really great, are easy to play, and don't cost a fortune. Based on the early 20th century Gibson Army-Navy models, this version has a Spruce top and Mahogany back & sides. The tone is sweet and fits easily into the Bluegrass or Celtic ensemble. With gig bag. |
