The Loar F-Style Mandolin - Padauk Fingerboard, Brownburst

Experience the unmistakable “chop” of an authentic mandolin right from the first strum, a hallmark only present in an instrument boasting a genuine, hand-carved Spruce top. Our Honey Creek F-Style captures that true 1920s resonance, all while ensuring ample vibration to seamlessly cut through the complexities of modern ensemble playing.

Our Honey Creek mandolins offer the best attributes of vintage instruments with lots of player-friendly features. The precision-crafted maple neck is carved with a thin V profile, providing a comfortable grip for the player. We’ve removed the fretboard extension beyond the 20th fret, for easy strumming without hindrance from the extended upper frets.

For gigging musicians, the Honey Creek F-Style features the US-installed Fishman Nashville acoustic/electric pickup, allowing your music to be heard onstage or off with crystal clarity.

The fusion of graceful curves in an authentic F-style body, a graduated solid spruce carved top, and a top-shelf pickup results in a gig-ready instrument that not only delivers exceptional sound, but also becomes a cherished heirloom to pass down to the next generation of musicians.
