The Loar Guitars

If you're looking for a classic guitar with a reasonable price tag, The Loar is a company worth checking out. Named after the Gibson master luthier Lloyd Loar, The Loar Guitars creates vintage-style stringed instruments that pay tribute to Loar's 1919 to 1924 designs. Using many of the original concepts and remaining true to hand-crafting methods, this company is able to offer antique-looking and sounding guitars any musician can afford. When you're on stage, the audience's impression of you relies on a combination of sound and appearance; when you get a guitar from The Loar, you can rest assured both aspects are covered. For versatility and portability, the small-bodied LO-216 Acoustic Guitar is a great option. The o-style body has a dreadnought scale length for a louder sound than you'd expect from such a small instrument. The vintage-style tuning pegs hold the strings in tune for longer, while the 1-11/16" bone nut is comfortable for both strumming and picking.

If you're looking for a professional jazz guitar sound, take a look at the LH-309 Archtop. A tribute to the archtop guitars of the 20's and 30's, this instrument has a vintage feel, but with modern details. The Loar P-90 pickup is positioned to capture the optimal tone of both rhythm and lead playing.

For an acoustic jazz sound that's truly special, the LH-700 Archtop is great for both soloing and accompanying other instrumentalists in your ensemble. The exceptional projection and fast tone decay are just what you need for onstage jazz performances. The hand-graduated spruce top and flamed maple back and sides give this high-end guitar the beautifully classic look it deserves.

Many artists looking to capture an old-timey look and sound such as Christian Letts of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, or a classy vibe like Sara Bareilles look to The Loar Guitars for their string instruments. As you shop around to choose the best acoustic guitar for you, make sure you see for yourself why so many people are talking about The Loar
