Sound Pure's Take

Alright!  More of this!  If you love vintage guitars, you owe it to yourself to explore instruments drawing their inspiration outside of the largely un-challenged pantheon of old Martins and Gibsons.  This Larson Bros inspired Style 6 is resonant, punchy, and dramatic enough to pull off all manner of vintage Americana--from Irving Berlin to Big Bill Broonzy, it's in there!

Condition: Used, Very Good-Excellent (small finish stain on lower bout, pictured)

Tony Klassen is the founder of New Era Guitars. Many accomplished players say he is a gifted and unique luthier.  Working from his shop in Chesterton, Indiana Tony builds custom guitars inspired by some of his favorite vintage builders, including guitars from the Chicago-based Larson Brothers, Bacon & Day and others. He has built stunning reproductions of Prairie State, Euphonon and Maurer guitars, based on pieces from his own collection.
