This is one of the most sought after Larson guitar models. The sound of these sixteen inch Larson jumbos is unequaled and this one is no exception. The mahogany body lends to the sweet mellow tones with strong lows, bright highs and a crisp middle range. Its1-3/4 nut width, rounded neck profile and 14 fret-to-body neck length make this guitar a modern player's dream instrument. I circa date it at 1936, built at the height of the brothers expertise. The lower bout measures 16 across and has a depth of 4 at the butt end. The Larson method of building under tension allows the top and back to be arched in the bridge area which adds about another 3/8 of depth in the guitar's center. Its stained spruce top (commonly dubbed, chocolate top) compliments the mahogany body that sports the early Euphonon striped purflings. The interior has the famous laminated X braces and is in clean, excellent, original condition. The top and back are crack free and the sides have one professionally repaired crack on each side, the one on the treble side being about 12 along the lower bout and the other is about 4 in the upper bout. The neck has been re-set for optimal ease-of-play. The brass Grover tuners are original and work well. The neck shows some minor capo wear at 3rd, 5th, 7th frets but is otherwise in excellent condition. The body has wear spots on the sides from being laid on end, and a few dings in the otherwise slightly crazed original finish. The original bridge shows no sign of ever being removed and is in fine condition with its original saddle and newly replaced, high grade bridge pins. The fingerboard and frets show minimal wear and require no work. The peghead appears to have a stained birds-eye maple overlay and is in great shape. This guitar was built with the Larson style floating pickguard that screwed into the side of the fingerboard and bridge. There is a small piece of it missing where it is mounted to the fingerboard so I have not re-mounted it but it is part of the package along with the original screws. The top area under the pickguard shows no sign of the finish being affected by it being mounted, as is often the case. The whole top is stunning and has a slight sunburst effect around the sides of the lower bout. The lack of pickwear in the top or pickguard leads me to believe it was played fingerstyle for its entire life and is very possibly a one-owner instrument. • For more information: http://larsonscreations.com
