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 freeboards 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.
