I have only seen passing reference to the cases that accompany Loars. I don't know that I have ever seen anything but green interior for '22's, and I know that green is the dominant color through Lloyd's tenure, but I know there are at least four or five in '23 and some in '24 as well that have a red interior, and there is that blue one, if original.
Ken Waltham once stated that there were no red interior cases distributed during Loars years with Gibson.... would this then be evidence that all Loar mandolins with red cases were sold after Lloyd left in Dec ??
How many different case designs have been identified associated with Loars ? I know I saw a reference to an odd "lip" on one case... I think that it could have been a red one as well....
thanks for any comments that you might contribute....
