    Default Loars on Display-Nashville.

    I forgot I took these about a month or so ago in Nashville, just stumbled onto this accidentally while killing some time at the store across the street from Station Inn.

    They all look to be in Like New condition. Not a scratch. Were they ever played or have they been restored?

    I have no idea. My girlfriend went over there to go shopping while I waited in line, came back and told me I had to go check it out, which I did, but they were closing and waiting for me to leave so thats all I was able to get was a few pictures, couldn't even get the serials.

    Huh. The "Two Old Hippies" have found a pretty rare thing. A K5 from 1919.
    The others are nice, though.

    That harp guitar tailpiece looks like it belongs in a torture chamber.

    Great to see a variety of instruments on display. I wonder where the information that Lloyd Loar was a master luthier from though.
    Hereby & forthwith, any instrument with an odd number of strings shall be considered broken. With regard to mix levels, usually the best approach is treating the mandolin the same as a cowbell.
