Jonathan Stout Plays Our 1924 Gibson Loar Era L-5 // SOUND CHECK

Today, we are honored to present a real Master Model if there ever was one: a Loar Era Gibson L-5. Archtop acrobat Jonathan Stout ‪@campusfive‬ found himself in the shop just in time to take it for a spin.
This beautiful, iconic early Gibson represents one of the most historically important guitars of the 20th century, and a considerable rarity. It is a 1924 Master Model L-5, the label signed by "Master" Lloyd Loar on November 17th of that year. It was not only the pre-eminent professional guitar of its era, but THE original f-hole archtop guitar, the progenitor of a century of similar guitars to come. Beyond this it remains an extremely fine-sounding instruments by any standard.

Jonathan is one of the all-time great masters of the acoustic archtop. This beautiful L-5 couldn't have asked for a better break than to have been animated by him.
