Overview

The perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern value.

The LH-309 archtop is the perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern value. The LH-309's top is hand-carved and hand-graduated solid Spruce. The Loar have carefully placed their own P-90 pickup in the perfect spot for optimal tone. The classic high output and articulate treble response of the P-90 is the ideal complement to the spruce top and maple back and sides, excellent for either rhythm or lead playing. With a 16 in. lower bout and a classic 24-3/4 in. scale, the LH-309 is a nod to original Golden Age archtop designs. Case sold separately.
