1924 Gibson F-5 Fern Lloyd Loar signed Sunburst, Excellent, Original Hard
Not only is this one of the rarest of all Loar signed F-5’s, this is a “Lost Loar” that was not even known to exist until we found it, and it’s the only one we have ever seen in “untouched” condition---a true attic find that has not been polished or repaired or re-fretted . The smell is heavenly—the patina is real—this is what magic is all about! Check out the others that are out there and then look at this one.
THIS ONE IS THE HOLY GRAIL!!
The original case still has dozens of New-Old Stock Strings in it, just as found. It HAS NOT been set-up or molested by a technician - it is just as found with the original strings except one we replaced from the old stock in the case that was broken. The case handle is missing (very typical of leather that is almost 100 years old).
THE BEST PART IS: IT SOUNDS GREAT!!! Mandolin experts and World class players, Lloyd Stark, Gary Vessel, and Joe Weed played it here in the store, and it was unbelievable! Joe owns a Loar and he said “This one blows mine away! And with old strings!
