Product Description
Inspired by the incredible craftsmanship and design of the Golden Age, The Loar LH-200 is an acoustic guitar with a classic pre-war body style, outstanding features, and a strong, full tone. From the vintage sunburst finish to the open gear butterbean tuners, the LH-200 is modeled after small-bodied flat top acoustic guitars from the 1930's. The guitar features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, ivory-colored body binding and a rosewood fretboard. This model also features a bound peghead with a delicate fern inlay in abalone and M.O.P. by veteran designer Greg Rich. Following early 20th century bracing patterns, the LH-200 has an incredibly lightweight body that delivers outstanding projection. The LH-200's smaller body size is great for songwriters and touring musicians who want a great sounding acoustic guitar to take to the stage. The guitar's beautiful looks and vintage features are appealing for all playing styles.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful SHOCKINGLY nice guitar..., By Horselover (Missouri) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Loar LH-200-FE3-SN Flat Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Electronics) Smaller OO size almost a parlor guitar with nice craftsmanship, genuine fishman electrics and a very playable neck. Tone is surprisingly nice for an inexpensive guitar. I didn't give it five stars because it's certainly not a Taylor- let alone a Martin or boutique guitar. But for the price it's hard to beat. I own more than 30 guitars, many of which are more than $4K. I'm not ashamed of this little guitar at all. Not The Bargin It Seems, By JMAC "JMAC" (Denton, TX United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Loar LH-200-FE3-SN Flat Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Electronics) I own a couple of other The Loar guitars and this is the first one I have been disappointed with. There are no obvious visual flaws and the guitar does match the description. It is a small body acoustic guitar with a bright sound. Excellent for finger picking. Out of the box there was a serious buzz above the 4th fret so I changed the strings and adjusted the truss rod. Loosened it first then experimented with various amounts of relief. That helped but I still got some nasty buzz. Got out the Stew-Mac fret rocker and found the problem: several high frets up the neck. Close examination looks like Loar went cheap and did the minimum amount of fret dressing necessary to get the guitar out the door. So much for quality control. I've got the tools and experience to level, dress, and polish the frets myself but expect to spend $100+ to have a luthier do that for you.The Fishman electronics are okay. The under saddle piezo transducer has the "quack" and string noise... Read more exceptional value!, By Brannon Hancock (Xenia, Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Loar LH-200-FE3-SN Flat Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Electronics) Since most of you won't read past the first sentence of this review, let me state right away that I am completely floored by the quality - the tone, construction, feel / playability, appearance, everything - of this Loar LH-200 acoustic-electric, especially considering the price. Right out of the box, I could tell I'd chosen wisely. My main acoustic guitars are a Larrivee and a Breedlove, and I've owned plenty of others (e.g. Guild, Epiphone, Yamaha); I have been playing guitar for 2 decades and for much of that time have made my living as a musician.I typically would be very cautious about buying an acoustic guitar without having it in my hands first, being able to hear it and play it and choose it based on those "real life" characteristics - not just features, stock photos and price. But in this case, I have not been able to find anyone in my area who sells these things. I've read such great reviews online that I really wanted to try one, and when Amazon's price dipped a...
