Product Description

If it's historically accurate jazz boxes you're after, you are in the the right place. The Loar are renowned for their detailed vintage guitar and mandolin designs, and this archtop cutaway represents the age of acoustic and electric crossover to a tee. Big bands gradually required more volume as gig capacity grew and the hollowbody electric guitar brought with it unique tones, captured here in The Loar's creation.

Classic construction

The full maple body delivers on thin crisp tones, translating into that classic high end sparkle when plugged in. The pair of Loar custom humbuckers add the warmer presence heard throughout mid-20th century records. Feel-wise, the mahogany neck has a deep C shape to bring realistic vintage playability to life. At a 24.75 scale length, you get a similar stylistic resemblance to another one of the 1950's single cut big hitters in the guitar world.
