The Loar LH-700

Well it's the first for a Chinese and shows. The corners are not approchs is for varnish have not been entitled (gills). The handle is quite thick but it is very pleasant. the mechanical grover have well written but it feels fake ..... Anyway "all solid, hand carved all the cots, ebony button (ebony not first choice but anyway)" I ' had occas with a micro Schaller install. I do know that with ropes daddario 13-56 or 13-53 thomastik flat wire. I've never played with acoustic strings. With a flexible mediator sound is powerful enough for a small archtop and surprising long. We always discovers something new and interesting. With a hard mediator is very smooth and already very jazz. I offered recently a micro Bartolini 5J. I copy here what I wrote on the micro elsewhere: Excellent floating micro and relatively expensive compared to qualit.Je've bought on ebay us and returned me 100 euros all included with the transport (gabeloups have not seen pass). I mount on The Loar Lh 700. There are just right place in thickness. the mounting lugs (TOC sleeve) are relatively soft copper and may be reworked with a clip to obtain adequate spacing. the body of the microphone is welded on two legs who take it from below and thus rajoutent 1mm thick. On The Loar I put the handle slightly angled brackets for the fasteners do not touch the table below as a micro point of contact (there really is little space on this guitar height) The result is perfect for me .dropoff window With an amp TomKat was very velvety sound very very smooth jazz amount (with the right setup and the right mediator). The guitar was surprising Adi acoustically speaking, with this microphone that offers him other perspectives. I had bought occas on ebay.de (470 euros) it returns me 600 all included with the microphone and the knob pickguard bois.Une any solid guitar hand carved with a super micro. I do not see why buy more cher.Il would have to experience on small models of the brand (Lh 300) .A micro really recommend. After you have to go home or at Lollar Benedetti, but it's between 60 and 80 euros more expensive.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Top Notch

I totally agree with what was said by "Cromorne" above.
It is of Chinese manufacture which mark the first glance with finishes that are approximate.
Following my critical of these finishes that do not deserve the name I could get a refund of 115 euros Thomann on the purchase price. So in the end the prize went to 770 euros.
That said acoustic sound result is quite correct and an amp with a P90 is very credible (ie a Fender "The Twin").
Roper was a trapeze (pictured) has been changed.

UTILIZATION

The handle is shaped in V, it may shock at first but got used to it very quickly. It is even comfortable enough, even with small hands.
My Loar is amplified with P90 "Dog Ear" Seymour Duncan. The micro just returned from the dam table. The strings are Thomastik flat net.
A volume and a tone control on the handle near the splice was added.
The sound is very credible. I had the opportunity to compare beef with an old Gibson ES 150 was comparable in timbre. As the new Loar sounded just a little green, but compares well maintained.
Access to acute is correct boxes to the XV and XVI. It becomes more sports from the XVII case, since there is not no cutaway.

SOUNDS

This is a correct guitar for jazz, blues. The price is relatively cheap for all solid guitar that is a good choice for a budget.

OVERALL OPINION

I use since January 2011, being essentially what prevents me to take a high end guitar, with the risks that implies.
This is a guitar is pretty nice if you do not look too closely. It sounds good, which is primarily the first thing we ask a musical instrument
I do not know the regularity of the series "The Loar" as finishes, but I think we need to resolve to admit that finishes them is Chinese.

Good is the first Chinese to have shows. The corners that did not approach the varnish have not been entitled to (the vents). The neck is quite thick but it is very pleasant. Mechanisms have written well over grover but feels fake ..... Anyway "all solid, hand carved all the cots, ebony fingerboard (ebony not of choice but still)" I ' I had occasion with a micro install schaller. I do not know the ropes with DADDARIO 13-56 or 13-53 Thomastik flat wire. I've never played with acoustic strings. With a flexible mediator sound is powerful enough for a small archtop and surprisingly long. You always discover something new and interesting. With a mediator is very smooth and hard already very jazz. I offered recently a micro Bartolini 5J.

I mounted on a Loar Lh 700. There is just the right place in thickness. the brackets (cot of the handle) are relatively soft copper and can be reworked with pliers to get the proper distance. the body of the microphone is welded on two legs who take it from below and so that add 1mm thick. On The Loar I put the clips run a slight angle so that the fasteners do not touch the table below as a micro point of contact (there is very little space on the guitar in height) The result suits me perfectly. With TomKat amplifier was a very smooth sound very very smooth jazz sum (with the right setup and good mediator). Dja surprisingly silent guitar acoustically speaking, with the microphone that he has other perspectives.

I see no reason to buy more should be done cher.Il experience on small models of the mark (Lh 300). A micro really recommend. After you have to go home or at Lollar Benedetti, but between 60 and 80 euros more expensive.
