man dough nollij,
Look through the thread Gail referenced above. Later in that thread there are pictures looking down the neck of some of those Loars. if I recall correctly. Many have a twist. If you Print This Topic on the view you'll open every post on one screen. In one, the late Charlie Derrington wrote...
"Yup.
It probably came from the huge Kzoo auction in '84. I find the bolt "hole" in the headblock area very interesting.
I think I've mentioned it before, but the necks really aren't that far off center. It's just that the scroll throws the center-line out of whack. If one digitally removes the scroll and point, things are pretty well centered. However, due the the hand-work nature of dovetail neck-fits, there are differing levels of being off-center in different Loars.
Charlie"
That thread is a gold mine of Loar knowledge.
