QR Code Link to This Post
This instrument is Loar's take on an Gibson L5-style, electrified archtop guitar. It has a solid, carved spruce top, Gibson-shaped 16" wide body complete with a Florentine cutaway for upper fret access. The maple back and sides help to provide the bright, percussive sound guitarists look for in an archtop. Plugged-in the Kent Armstrong floating pickup, offers a warm, clean sound for traditional jazz and chord melody styles.
Has a Mahogany set neck with vintage profile finished with an inlaid mother-of-pearl “Fleur-de-Lis” on the headstock. The bone nut and compensated adjustable ebony bridge let the sound of the select tonewoods resonate clearly. The pickguard has a single volume knob that adds to the vintage look and feel.
· Rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlays
· Grover vintage-style "butterbean" tuners
· Ivory body and neck binding
· 19 frets
· 24.75" scale length
