Aesthetically pleasing construction and acoustics
The LM-590 sports nickel hardware and tuning machines paired with an adjustable ebony bridge for easy string replacement and pitch manipulation. Fashioned with a "V" neck profile, the fretboard is easy to play and feels comfortable in the hand — not to mention its attractive mother-of-pearl inlays. The mandolin's cocktail of unique tonewoods culminate to provide a natural mellow sound that's perfect for mic amplification or recording sessions.
Selection of hand-carved resonant tonewoods
When it comes to mandolins, tone is extremely important. The LM-590-MS's medley of maple and padauk tonewoods give you a rare combination of strong bass response and bright, dampening overtones. Of course, these materials would not be complete without a classic mandolin shape. The LM-590-MS provides this and more with it's hand carved build and pleasing satin finish.
