Very special The Loar LH 600 all solid hand carved archttop $999
This guitar sounds unreal and really off the charts value for this kind of money.Whoever buys it is going to be in for a nice surprise with what they call old world value. It sounds better then old Gibson L5s and L7s I used to own because of the violin voiced top and the carver just keep getting better and better the the violin voiced top brings out the natural woody reverb, overtones, ring, voice and orchestral balance. Man I would love to keep this one but guess I need to let it find a good home but a lot of guitar and that is not marketing fluff.This guitar will teach you and inspire you and this with the Guitar Ladder System would be one hell of a combo that will take you on a musical journey to your unique ideas. I would love to hear this guitar as it opens up in the next 10 to 20 hours but sounds really good right now but will sound even more musical with more mature overtones and reverb in another 10 to 20 hours and then will take another jump in voice at about 40 hours and so cool to hear this guitar evolve.Lie the old standard one of my Favorite Things! The old Gibson L5s that had the smaller body were more musical sounding then the advanced body as it was called which was 17 inches wide. The old L5s were cool but smaller body ones were the best but they were not violin voiced so lacked bloom and overtones with woody reverb and secondary bloom and bark.
