2010s The Loar LH-350 VS Hollowbody Electric Archtop Guitar

Overview: This is Loar's take on an L5-style, electrified archtop guitar. It's got a carved top and sounds excellent (similar to an old Gibby) acoustically, though the current strings (50w-11 nickel with a wound G) are not driving the top enough to do it justice! Plugged-in it, of course, has that jazz thing to a T, with a clean, warm, easy sound.

Interesting features: It's stock except, I think, for the knob on the pickguard. The cutaway is sharp and classy and the bound pickguard looks slick.

Repairs included: Ancel gave it a level/dress of the frets and a setup and recut the bridge slightly to give more adjustment room travel. It's playing spot-on and is fit to serve.
