Check out this used Loar LM-310F-BRB Honey Creek F-Style mandolin, an instrument that delivers vintage tone and handcrafted quality at a player-friendly price. Featuring a hand-carved solid spruce top and a comfortable thin “V” maple neck, this mandolin plays well, sounds rich and resonant, and offers that classic "chop" right out of the box.
It’s in overall good condition with no noticeable fretwear, and it has been tested and plays nicely. However, there is a visible split forming where the neck meets the body—a potential neck joint issue. Although, it could just be a something with the finish. It does not currently affect playability, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re considering long-term use or repair work.
