Loar Blackstone L-00

This guitar is based on the Gibson L-00 models and their less expensive cousins the Kalamazoo KG-14 and Recording King Carson Robison models. This Loar model is X-braced to give it a more open and full sound than some of the ladder braced counterparts. The Blackstone features a satin black open pore finish, white pickguard, Ivoroid binding and Kluson tuners for a cool vintage look.
