Lloyd Loar was a Gibson master luthier from 1919 to 1924. He is most famous for his revered designs of the F5 mandolin and L5 guitar. There are few remaining Lloyd Loar-signed instruments, and they command upwards of $150,000 a piece.

We build our instruments as a tribute to his classic designs and use his original specifications and hand-crafted assembly methods to make professional-quality instruments available for working folks at a price that won’t break the bank.
