The Loar LM-110-BRB Honey Creek A-Style Mandolin

The Loar LM-110-BRB A-Style mandolin offers classic looks and traditional acoustic tone in an attractive Satin Sunburst finish. It's crafted for musicians who appreciate quality, authentic tone, and affordability.

This Loar mandolin boasts a hand-carved solid spruce top with X bracing, and maple back, sides and neck. The maple neck with a padauk fingerboard offers a smooth playing experience, while the 20 frets and flat radius provide versatility for any playing style.

Hand Carved Solid Spruce Top
A hand-carved spruce top is prized because spruce is light, strong, and highly resonant, allowing it to be carved thin for clear, dynamic tone and good volume. Carving the top by hand lets the luthier precisely shape its arch and thickness—much like voicing a violin—to fine-tune balance, sustain, and responsiveness. Compared with cheaper materials or pressed tops, a hand-carved spruce top typically offers brighter, clearer sound, better projection, and improved note separation, and it often “opens up” over time, becoming richer and more responsive with play.

A-Style Body
A-style mandolins are common in folk, old-time, Celtic, classical, and singer-songwriter settings. A‑style mandolins are often described as having a clear, warm, and balanced tone that works well for most acoustic styles. Because the body is simpler to build, A‑styles are frequently more affordable and popular with beginners, while still being used by many experienced players.
