Handmade by Tony Klassen in the style of vintage Larson Brothers guitars, this 2016 New Era Maurer Style 6 is all things classic and timeless that made the originals so collectible. This near excellent condition custom model is built with Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack. The originals were most certainly built with Brazilian Rosewood, but fetch a price many times this. Madagascar Rosewood is considered a close 2nd and is becoming increasingly rare in itself.
The New Era Maurer is a 12 fret auditorium model with a standard scale and 1 3/4″ nut width. Designed with the fingerstyle player in mind but with more than enough gusto for the discerning flatpicker this has all the tone and vibe of a vintage guitar. Hide glue construction, nitrocellulose gloss finish, Spruce and Rosewood top bracing, 3 piece Mahogany and Rosewood slotted headstock neck, Pearl clover inlays and Larson style pickguard are all specs of the Style 6. Includes custom fretboard inlays and torch headstock inlays as well.
There is a discolored spot on the top lower bout treble side from the case strap and a few light top dings that are hard to find. Otherwise the guitar is clean with barely any fretwear as well.
Includes hardshell case.
