[Eric Michael Pfeiffer]

Has anyone seen, held or played any one of these? Is it more like the LM600 or the 520?

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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.

Hi Eric,


Hope all is well down your way. :)

Last I heard, these were supposed to be reaching dealers a couple of months back, but I have yet to see any. :)

No...actually when I was surfing on Facebook I saw that "The Loar" was advertising it on their facebook page and I remember hearing something about this mando coming out in the future but hadn't seen or heard anything about it since. Quite the contrair, very happy with my Blevins mandolin, it's coming along very nicely and I actually posted some videos of me playing it recently.....:grin:.
