For your consideration, a 2012 The Loar LH-309-VS archtop in Vintage Sunburst with hardshell case. These are cool guitars. A deep 16-inch archtop body, hand-carved solid spruce top, maple back and sides, and a single P-90 at the neck make for a simple recipe that actually gives you a lot to work with.

Unplugged, it has the woody, percussive response you want from a real carved-top archtop. Plug it in and the P-90 adds some muscle without losing the character of the guitar. It is warm when you want it to be, but there is plenty of clarity and bite available too. This is not a guitar that needs to be assigned to one particular genre — it is just a genuinely fun guitar to play.

This one has low miles and remains all original, with no signs of abuse. The neck is straight, the truss rod works as it should, and fretwear is minimal and does not affect playability. It has been freshly set up and restrung in our shop and is playing great.

A hardshell case is included.
