Description from Sweetwater. Mine is in great shape, black, their listing is for the sunburst. I think the black may no longer be available. Very nice instrument, but it never gets played!
“ The Loar LH-309-BK is brimming with jazz-age style and high-class archtop elegance — all at a reasonable price! At the core of the LH-309-BK is a hand-carved solid spruce top that imbues your every lick with a lush resonance. This hollowbody’s maple back and sides offer a cutting clarity that gives your plugged-in tones an open, airy feel, while also allowing the LH-309-VS to double as an unplugged jazzbox. A custom The Loar P-90 delivers a versatile single-coil bite, and with a quick roll of the tone knob, the LH-309-VS takes you straight into old-school blues and jazz territory. If you’re looking for a vintage-style archtop with all the benefits of modern construction, look no further than The Loar LH-309-BK”
