I will start up some separate threads of my Instument-models! A good starter is the Parlor Guitar! As all other of my Instruments, I also make my Parlors in different Costumes!
All my Loef Parlors are “Ladder braced”! As many as 90% of the sk Parlor size Guitars in the market of today, are unfortunately “X-brace”!
My favourite is the “Sorbus Aucuparia” as side and backwood! To get the best Parlor Blues, I choose this!
Please check out some Parlor pictures below
A “faq” is the difference in bodysize and one body compared to an other body.
So let´s put this, once and for all, on a picture!
These body-shapes are all my own shaping! No copy!!
On the picture You find:
P = standing for Parlor
BP = for BigParlor
OM = Orchestra Model
D = Dreadnought
J = Jumbo
I welcome You to my new website! And “I”, who welcome You, are:
Olav Loef

I made my first guitar that Year when The Queen performed “We are the Champions” for the first time! That´s a long time ago!
My desire is, to one day build “The Guitar!” to You!

So to all You Folks! In coming weeks I will publish presentations of guitars from the past, models in Collection!
Finally a new and more slimline website based on wordpress. Its up and running and my intention is to be able to easily share new projects and other thoughts with you on a more frequent basis.
I would like to be able to have you with me from the first idea to a finished product.
