Used, in good playing condition. This Loar archtop is perfect for beginner and intermediate jazz players or anyone in need of a well-made jazz box at a great price. This one has been outfitted with a pair of TV Jones humbuckers that sound great on this guitar; all in all this instrument offers a ton of bang for your buck in terms of build quality, playability and tones.
The guitar is in good-to-very good playing condition, with some normal cosmetic signs of play throughout, some buckle rash on the back (see photos). The back of the neck has also been lightly sanded down for a nice satin feel. Freshly set up in our shop and ready to play! Does not include a case/gig bag or other accessories, but check out our shop online or get in touch directly if you'd like to add anything to your order.
