The New Era Masterbuilt OO reflects a focused interpretation of the Stahl-inspired small-body design, combining Larson construction principles with modern lutherie precision.

Built around the Larson-style arched top, the instrument delivers notable projection, efficiency, and tonal balance from a compact body. This construction, paired with solid Moonspruce bracing, produces a highly responsive soundboard with strong articulation and controlled harmonic content.

Two distinct configurations define its voice. The all-mahogany version offers a dry, direct response with strong fundamental focus, while the spruce and Madagascar rosewood pairing provides greater headroom, clarity, and harmonic complexity.

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