Made in China, carved solid maple and spruce
Micro mini humbucker
1 volume knob makes (and slightly reduces the attack with minimal impact to the volume at the start of the race on my copy).
Junction box-body handle 14 + cutaway.
Adjustable Ebony bridge
Handle "U" very classical.
Very good finish on my copy. No worries reported usually, except for a small mark on the wood (glue or grease) as (beautiful) varnish, and that's all.

UTILIZATION

Very enjoyable to play, handle modern therefore more enjoyable to play than most bowls I played jazz. Access to acute is easy, convenient, considering the quality of sound throughout the register.

SOUNDS

In acoustics:
The acoustic sound is tip top, bright and rich, very well balanced and present (thank you wealth medium) with the signing of the construction archtop (clear-cut attack).
It works very well for the whole range of its jazz, blues roots. Very nice in gypsy swing, but it would be a shame to limit it to that. Or bossa, or casseroles Mandingo ... my fingers are much less versatile it!

In Electrical
Very warm, round, "we feel the wood" :-)
Super balanced and dynamic sound even with strings (adjustable pads micro help much).

OVERALL OPINION

Bought it a little over a month, and many played since!

it's been a few years since I was looking for a guitar to assist my little acoustic jazz-its-that-tears-but-playable-as-a-cinderblock. I was looking for a good guitar acoustic and easily amplifiable (for me = with a micro electromagnetic), multipurpose all-terrain type. And most importantly, easy to play.

I tried dozens of guitars for it, until things for which the bank robbery is the only reasonable solution to funding.

And last year, a Loar 700. Revelation thunderbolt. Price / quality ratio hallucinating. Just what I was looking for ... by adding a humbucker and a cutaway. (LH650 has the 2).
Few months to continue to try to find the scratch without finding rare (even putting twice as much $ $), a moment of madness on a site well-known German, a big box that does not fit in the box letters ... and days of music.

Needless to say, I am super happy with my purchase?
