The LH-700 quality control is high, like Diva, high-maintenance high. The guitars have been on hiatus for months because they will only accept pieces that meet their stringent standards for tone. It has been a year since the LH-700 last hit US shores and they are finally here, but only a few pieces have arrived. If you want to purchase one, because as of 5/24/10 we only have two left after filling pre-orders. These wont’ last long and you never know when more may show up.

The Loar’s new hand carved, nitrocellulose-finished archtop guitar is a product of extensive historic research. The all solid, hand carved bodies are finished with nitrocellulose lacquer to reflect the classic jazz sounds of Golden Age instruments. With the use of traditional building techniques, like the classic parallel bracing, the Loar Hand Carved Archtops are a singular achievement. Their excellent projection and quick decay make them the professional choice for jazz soloing or accompaniment.

The Loar Hand Carved Archtop Guitar is assembled with an AAA solid hand carved spruce top and AAA flamed maple back, sides and neck. The bone nut and compensated adjustable ebony bridge let the sound of the select tonewoods resonate clearly, and the bound ebony fretboard is both beautiful and durable. The archtop is finished with a meticulously inlaid “Flowerpot” headstock design and a hand-buffed nitrocellulose lacquer tobacco sunburst finish to stay true to classic design and style.

The LH-700 will only be built in very limited quantities. It comes standard with the Golden Age-styled Deluxe Vintage Hardshell archtop case.
