    • Classic Small Body Design
    • Solid Spruce Top
    • Mahogany Back & Sides
    • Rosewood Fretboard
    • Fishman Sonitone EQ Pickup
    Inspired by the incredible craftsmanship and design of the Golden Age, The Loar LH-200 is an acoustic guitar with a classic pre-war body style, outstanding features, and a strong, full tone. From the vintage sunburst finish to the open gear butterbean tuners, the LH-200 is modeled after small-bodied flat top acoustic guitars from the 1930's. The guitar features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, ivory-colored body binding and a rosewood fretboard. This model also features a bound peghead with a delicate fern inlay in abalone and M.O.P. by veteran designer Greg Rich. Following early 20th century bracing patterns, the LH-200 has an incredibly lightweight body that delivers outstanding projection. The LH-200's smaller body size is great for songwriters and touring musicians who want a great sounding acoustic guitar to take to the stage. The guitar's beautiful looks and vintage features are appealing for all playing styles.
