Yes, I remember the “student level” Gibsons going for 350 and even less. And who knows where it goes from here, up down or sideways?
Anyway, I couldn’t resist trying a Loar when I found one pretty cheap on GC used, and nearby to boot. So I paid for it and had it shipped for pickup at my local store. Got it yesterday pm.
I played it for about and hour, acoustic and plugged in. Returned it to the store todayfor the full refund, which was given no questions asked. Nuff said.
And, too bad. With just a bit more care they could have made it so much better. To me it was unacceptable.
I’m going on a search for the right 125 or 125T.
Thanks again for all your comments! Will report back with news if/when such occurs. Mark.
