Guitar Summit 2026 is nearly here, and Larson Brothers Guitars will once again be heading to Mannheim for one of Europe’s biggest events dedicated to guitars, gear and the people who make them.
From 25 to 27 September 2026, the Congress Center Rosengarten will bring together guitar builders, brands, musicians, dealers and guitar enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond. This year, visitors will be able to find Larson Brothers Guitars on Level 0, Booth 164.
Play Larson Brothers guitars at Guitar Summit
There is no substitute for sitting down with a guitar and playing it for yourself.
We’ll have a selection of Larson Brothers acoustic guitars available throughout Guitar Summit, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the instruments up close, hear them in person and talk to the team behind the brand.
The display will include guitars from both of our current collections: Larson Brothers Tribute and Larson Brothers Masterbuilt.
The Tribute collection brings the Larson approach to a wider range of players, while our Masterbuilt guitars represent the highest expression of the modern Larson Brothers range, individually handcrafted in Italy by luthier Klaus Eilken.
A guitar-making story that began in Chicago
The Larson Brothers story stretches back more than a century to Carl and August Larson, whose work in Chicago helped establish a distinctive approach to acoustic guitar construction.
Their instruments became known for innovative construction techniques, including ideas that were patented by the brothers, as well as their distinctive approach to bracing, structure and voicing.
Today’s Larson Brothers guitars continue that story rather than simply reproducing old instruments. The aim is to preserve the principles and character that made the original Larson-built guitars special while creating instruments for contemporary players.
Guitar Summit is the ideal opportunity to experience that for yourself.
Come and see us in Mannheim
Whether you already know the history of Larson Brothers guitars, have been following the return of the brand, or simply want to discover some exceptional acoustic guitars, we’d be very pleased to see you.
Come and meet the Larson Brothers team, explore the Tribute and Masterbuilt collections and, most importantly, pick up the guitars and play them.
