I would like to find an archtop guitar which would be good for rhythm guitar playing for GJ music...while I realize none of them would probably have the projection of GJ designed guitar, in my heart I really love the looks and sound of the archtop. In the past, I have owned a Gibson super400, but I am not willing to put out that kind of money (my limit would be $1k) I am curious about the Loar brand. I would appreciate getting responses from those of you who own or have owned a Loar or similarly priced guitar and what you thought of them. Thanks in advance.

Dorado Schmitt used to play one:
Christophe Lartilleux plays one as well:
etc guitars were made with great tone woods and can be had for literally a song. I have a '40's Kay uncut arch top that is a top player. Yes I spent some money to upgrade, but it plays like many of the top guitars of the era. I have played that guitar for forty plus years. I have a '30's Gibson L5, and a '50's
Gibson L5, but I still find reasons to play the Kay!
