I heard Ronnie McCoury is playing a Lloyd Loar F5 these days. I have noticed it has a pickgaurd on it, I guess he has had to adjust his style as his Gilchrist has no pickgaurd on it. Does anyone have any interesting information on his Lloyd Loar , serial no, date ,specifications and restoration as I am a fan of Mr McCoury's playing and so on.
I heard it came from Mexico. Seriously.

I heard it came from Mexico as well. I wonder if Ronnie's Loar has an interesting history. If only mandolins could speak. I sure Mr McCoury's does speak
It speaks to me real good!!!
"Well, Yes, It is true that it did have random Hippie Sanding done to it"
"It's about the journey and not the destination."
I doubt he had to change his style because of a finger rest though. Most of those super pickers like McCoury can play with or without a finger rest.

What did he use to record "The Promised Land" ? The new/old Loar or his Gilchrist ?
You can't see your future in a rear view mirror.
He's sporting the Loar in the liner notes if I remember correctly. And I saw him with his Loar around Thanksgiving. If they recorded more recently than this past November, I'd wager he used the Loar

Evangelina,she was a nice girl , she brought him water in the morning and wine in the evening.What more could a man ask for? A great Hoyt Axton song.
Just a poor man's daughter
I wonder if it has a green card? Willie
I think this thread has gone Dawgone
I'm bumping this up so the other person asking about Ronnie's new Loar can see this thread and go to the photos.
For anyone who has seen Del and family lately, how is Ronnie doing with the Loar? Has he assimilated it into his style?

Page 72 and 73 of the closed Loar thread above has photos of Ronnie with his Loar and a front and back photo.
i saw and met Mr. McCoury at a concert.i always ask folks what kind of mandolin they use.he said the one he was playing on stage was his brand new loar (brand new to him) his gilchrist was at the back of the stage incase a string broke.
I like mandolins.
The mandolin had been in Mexico for quite a number of years. #It ended up in the hands of an heir who I believe lived in southern California and was a recording engineer, (?) who then put it up for sale. # It went to Steve Gilchrist for repair and restoration after its purchase, as it had a few structural issues. #Its serial number would put it in April 25, 1923 group.
