Designed by Greg Rich and inspired by the pioneering designs of the Golden Age, guitars and mandolins by The Loar combine expert craftsmanship and classic designs with upgraded features to appeal to today’s players. From premium tonewoods to original inlay detailing, each instrument is made for the best sound, playability and timeless beauty. The Loar pays homage to instruments from the 1920’s and 30’s, an age of outstanding craftsmanship and innovative design. The Loar revives this tradition to bring you the best-sounding, most beautifully crafted instruments available today.
Modeled after American designs from the early 20th century, The Loar’s new archtop guitar is completely hand-carved from select, graduated woods and features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and unparalleled acoustic projection. The Loar Hand-Carved Archtop is an authentic replica of the original archtop acoustic guitars from the 1920’s. This all-solid model features a top that is hand-carved from graduated spruce, and hand-carved back and sides made from highly flamed maple.
The LH-600 also features hand-buffed nitrocellulose lacquer for superior acoustic projection, a one-piece mahogany neck with vintage "V" profile, Grover tuners and a compensated adjustable ebony bridge. With its exceptionally loud tone, carved body and vintage design, this new archtop took the NAMM show by storm this past January. Jazz players and archtop enthusiasts will love this professional model.
