Re: Vern bryant #31, loar tribute
Sorry to be resurrecting this thread, but Orrin, if you've sold that Bryant since this, I think I have picked it up. It's an absolutely wonderful piece of work. I bought a Bryant at House of Musical Traditions in Tacoma Park and they told me it was yours. Just thought it might be kinda worth mentioning enlightening it's whereabouts. Of course they may have just gotten themselves mixed up, in any case it is a wonderful instrument. the number is 65 if you remember or not.
Re: Vern bryant #31, loar tribute
I’ve known Vern for over 30 years and he is a great person,I have had my gibson mando repaired and he hollowed the scroll out and refinished everything many years ago as mine is a 1971 and I never really was happy with the sound till he changed it! I did hear his mando and the 24 Loar and to me his mando definitely was louder,but the Loar didn’t have any miles on it. I bought a Bryant mando and its got a good thump sound and the neck is thicker which I like. I also have 2 guitars he made and they play awesome and sound decent.
