The New Era Masterbuilt Grand OM channels the design philosophy of the Larson Brothers through a modern lutherie lens, offered in two distinct constructions that define its tonal character.

The flat top version, paired with scalloped bracing, delivers a familiar responsiveness with enhanced resonance, overtone richness, and dynamic openness. In contrast, the Larson-inspired arched top construction provides greater projection, headroom, and note separation, resulting in a more focused and controlled voice.

Both instruments are built around a premium Val di Fiemme Moonspruce (Picea abies) top, valued for its stiffness, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity. Each model is matched with a specific back and side pairing, shaping its tonal identity.

Shared appointments include a Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard and bridge, Polished Vintage Bone nut and bridge inlay, and a satin neck finish for a refined playing feel. The Larson historic peghead with M.O.P. logo and Ebony overlay completes the instrument’s understated, heritage-driven aesthetic.
