Overview

The Loar small body 0-style with mahogany back & sides and a dreadnought scale length.

The LO-216 is a unique flat top guitar that gives players the chance to sample everything great about a small body instrument, but still benefit from the extra volume of a longer scale. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top on a classic 0-style body. The dreadnought scale length results in more punch and projection than you'd expect from a small-body guitar.

The Sitka spruce combines perfectly with the mahogany back and sides for players who prefer a slightly darker tone that's great for any style of music. Our 1-11/16" bone nut is comfortable for either fingerpicking or strumming, and the vintage-style Golden Age tuning machines keep the 216 in tune through extended playing. The ivory body binding gives it a refined, classic look that complements the finish.
