The Loar Hand-Carved '20s Replica Archtop
Modeled after American designs from the early 20th century, The Loar’s new archtop guitar is hand-carved from select, graduated woods and features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and unparalleled acoustic projection.
The Loar Hand-Carved Archtop (LH-600) is an authentic replica of the original archtop acoustic guitars from the 1920s. This all-solid model features a top that is hand-carved from graduated spruce, and hand-carved back and sides made from highly flamed maple.
The LH-600 also features a hand-rubbed, vintage tobacco sunburst finish with nitrocellulose lacquer for superior acoustic projection, Gotoh tuners, and a compensated adjustable ebony bridge.
With its exceptionally loud tone, carved body, and vintage design, the archtop attracted considerable attention at the NAMM Show in January.
The LH-600 has a list price of $1,195 and includes a featherweight case. The Loar, a division of The Music Link, specializes in handcrafted musical instruments inspired by the Golden Age.
