Elderly Instruments announces a "newly discovered" Gibson F5, dated July 9, 1923 and signed by Lloyd Loar. Looks like a nice one, even the original case appears to be in good shape. It's a fairly common date for Loars but the fact that Bill Monroe's was that date ups the value, which in the case of this specimen is $250,000.00. It'll be interesting to see what it finally goes for.
