The Loar LH309VS?

This guitar has caught my attention lately. Anyone have any input on it? There's a couple videos on youtube, and the response is generally favorable. I've been kind of GASing for an electric archtop....

I had a chance to play one of these, and I was more impressed than I expected to be. I honestly liked it better than the comparable but much more popular Godin.
Fit and finish wasn't quite as nice as the Eastmans (and it's a bit heavier), but still nice for the money. Has a vintage look and feel to it and is responsive-yet-darkish sounding like a proper classic archtop.
Hardware on the cheap side, but that's easy to take care of.

wow I totally forgot about this thread.

Thank you for the reply! Hope I can find one to try out.
