Re: A Reference for The Differences in oval holed Gibson A's?
Thanx for the kind words. The "Lloyd Loar" name sure carries a lot of weight a century later. When Gibson upgraded its F-5's during the 1970's, they called them "F-5L," with the "L" standing for "Loar." And, as we know, there's a whole line of quality Asian-made mandolins and guitars labeled "The Loar."
Probably he died without knowing that people would be using his name 75 years later. A real legacy...
