The new Rover RM-75 sets the standard by which all moderately priced mandolins will be judged—and it will also make the highest priced ones extremely nervous, too! All proportions and features are exactly like vintage originals produced during the 1920's and 1930's that are highly collected today.

his solid body 4-string electic mandolin is great for Texas swing, folk, and even Rock N’ Roll. The maple radiused fingerboard plays very quickly. The stacked humbucking pickup is extremely quiet for recording and includes tone and volume control. Includes Gigbag.

The hand-carved LM-520 F-model mandolin is our response to players’ requests for a great-sounding, high-value mandolin with low key appointments. The LM-520 is carefully assembled in the same hand-carved workshop that gave birth to the LM-400 and 700, and has a similar hand-carved, fully graduated spruce top. The solid maple back is also hand-carved, and the solid maple sides complete the all-solid package. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded “V” profile finished with a rosewood fretboard. 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, chop and projection mandolin players have come to expect from The Loar.

Our new solid top GM-55A may be the best sounding A-style mandolin you’ve heard. The sound quality is mainly due to a unique oil finish that is very protective yet allows the instrument to vibrate freely compared to instruments with thicker lacquer or polyurethane finishes. The antique appearance is achieved by hand application of the oil finish in a thin layer producing a look that’s quite different from a satin or gloss finish. Try playing a GM-55A and see for yourself how the finish provides surprising volume and tone.

The LM-590-MS is designed for players who want the rich sound of a solid hand-carved instrument in a resonant thin satin finish with ultra-clean aesthetics. The LM-590's top is hand-carved from solid spruce, and the back and sides are hand-carved from solid maple. The flat fretboard extension provides maximum picking clearance so players can feel comfortable going all the way up the classic v-neck. Despite its stripped down vibe, the LM-590-BR keeps the essentials of a great sounding mandolin, and the solid hand carved woods really open up under the thin satin finish. The Classic F-Style LM-590 delivers all the craftsmanship and tone players have come to expect from The Loar.

The GM-70+ (also available left-handed) can be had with an LR Baggs pickup installed (extra). Available as left-handed model.

The unique body style is patented by Rigel® Mandolins and is licensed to Gold Tone. All solid wood construction packs a punch and tone similar to the domestic Rigels® from Vermont. The GM-110 also has a specially designed transducer pickup sandwiched in the bridge for amplified applications.
