Description
In the Classic Era of American Mandolins there was a single
example of a Lloyd Loar Master Model mandolin produced in the A-style. It had a
symmetrical pear-shaped body without points or scroll and a perfectly shaped
snake-head peghead. Because only one mandolin of this type was ever produced,
that original instument has risen to mythical status. Every discriminating
player and collector dreams of owning that original instrument, and now it is
possible in the new KM-900!
