Larson Brothers guitars are amongst the rarest, most highly sought after acoustic guitars, and regarded as some of the best ever made. From 1900 - 1944 they manufactured instruments under a wide variety of names, such as Euphonon, Prarie State, Maurer, Stahl, Dyer and Stetson. They also produced quite a large number of guitars with no manufacturer's imprint - which can make them tricky to authenticate, but there are several signs to look for when trying to identify them, apart from the fact that they sound exceptionally good, and the build quality is superb. Externally, the variety of fingerboard inlays, the unusual 10th fret inlay, and a thicker than usual ebony board are indications. The internal construction is also a clue, the hand made feel and high quality is always apparent. This example is an 00 size guitar made with an extremely high quality, beautifully grained and stained Sitka Spruce top, and stunning Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. For a small bodied guitar it is surprisingly versatile, very resonant and capable of handling anything from delicate fingerstyle through to vibrant strumming. The tone is rich and bright, and the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides add complexity to the overall sound - the single note clarity is particularly impressive. The guitar is in surprisingly good condition for a guitar of this age, with a few pro crack repairs, and a very comfortable neck and playing action. It comes in a deluxe hard case.
