Re: Loar LM500/VS worth it for $300?
Other may correct me if I'm wrong but I think at one time the 500's had pressed tops and a rather thick poly finish that many did not like. Then sometime within the last couple of years they did an upgrade and started putting a carved top on them. Don't know if they upgraded the finish though. I do know the more recent ones are much better. Based on the retail price $300 sounds like a good deal but I would try to find out how old it is first. If it's older than 2 years it might have a pressed top. We have members here who are much more familiar with the Loar who will surely jump in if I am wrong.
