Default NGD: Went to the dark side

That's right, a Chinese made archtop acoustic. The Loar LH-600. I wanted to learn some proper jazz styling, so thought I'd get a readonably priced proper jazz guitar. Solid carved spruce top, solid maple back and sides.

You might want to put a helmet and some pads on.

Nice Loar!

Around here I thought the dark side was referring to the electric stuff....

Have the mods repost this on the Archtop forum - you'll get a load of valuable feedback on both care-&-feeding and jazz materials/techniques over there...

Sweet guitar, BTW - use it well and often...
