I've just taken delivery of a new guitar from Tony Klassen at New Era Guitars and thought I'd post a photo for anyone that's interested. I'll hopefully get around to recording something to upload soon. The guitar is another Larson brothers reproduction; 00-sized body, adirondack top and madagascar rosewood back & sides. The style is modelled on the Larson "chocolate top" instruments of the 1930s.

That looks a beauty! Soundclips are, of course, obligatory

Hell's teeth, that's gorgeous! I've never played a New Era, but Tom Feldmann use one on some of his instructional DVDs, and Roy Book Binder has one as well - that's two of my favourite players straight away. They look and sound fabulous. Congratulations, and enjoy it!

That is fantastic I'm jealous. 00's are my favourite sized guitars. If I had the cash I'd like to get on Tony's list.

I know nothing about Larson guitars, Tony Klassen or New Era Guitars... but I do know that your guitar looks spectacular fishfingers and if it sounds half as good as it looks it has got to be a winner. Congratulations. Cheers, marcus

Wow! That's a beauty. Tony Klassens` guitars are really well regarded by some great players. Mary Flower and Stefan Grossman as well as the others mentioned previously. If you don`t mind me asking, how long was the build time? Enjoy.
