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. 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.

For what it's worth, this seems to be the best mid-range mandolin for the best price. By mid-range, I mean it's not under a hundred bucks but made of plywood with no truss rod, etc. It's not hand carved by some geezer in Kentucky, either. I found while I was figuring out which one to buy that there are three orders of magnitude. Those that cost in the $10s of dollars, those in the $100s, and those in the $1,000s. Of the ones in the $100s, the Loar appears to be the one to get. **Q: Is it already setup?** A: This mandolin will come with a factory setup. You'll want to double check everything when you receive it. **Q: Can this be restrung left handed?** A: Yes but the nut and the bridge would have to be changed or modified Thanks Tim m The guitar man store **Q: Why does it not have a pickguard want the wood get marked up from the the pick** A: Most mandolin players remove pickguards anyway. The wood can be marked, but that gives character. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Loar LM-110-BRB Honey Creek A-Style Mandolin - Dunlop Primetone Semi-Round 1.3mm Sculpted Plectra (Grip) - 3 Pack Guitar Picks (514P1.30) - D'Addario Accessories Leather Mandolin Strap - Mandolin Accessories - Cradle Style - Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/70662552-the-loar-lm-110-brb-honey-creek-a-style-mandolin](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/70662552-the-loar-lm-110-brb-honey-creek-a-style-mandolin) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
