The Larson Brothers New Era Masterbuilt OO is a compact acoustic guitar inspired by the small-body Stahl designs associated with the Larson legacy.

Built for clarity, balance and fast response, the New Era Masterbuilt OO offers a focused voice with excellent note definition and surprising projection from a smaller body. Its comfortable size makes it well suited to fingerstyle, blues, folk, light strumming and players who prefer a more intimate acoustic guitar.

At the centre of the instrument is the Larson-style arched top. Paired with solid Moonspruce bracing, this construction helps create a responsive soundboard with strong articulation, efficient projection and controlled harmonic content.

Three tonewood options are available. The all-Mahogany version delivers a dry, direct response with strong fundamental focus and a woody midrange character. The spruce and Madagascar Rosewood version offers greater headroom, clarity and harmonic complexity, giving the instrument a more open and detailed voice. Tasmanian Blackwood adds warmth, clarity and refined overtones, with a balanced response that suits fingerstyle, blues and light strumming.

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, natural playing feel.

The Larson historic peghead, M.O.P. logo and Ebony overlay complete the guitar with a restrained, heritage-led aesthetic rooted in the craftsmanship and design legacy of the Larson Brothers.

Who is Klaus Eilken?

Klaus is a precision-driven luthier whose work within the Larson Masterbuilt Series reflects a deep commitment to structural integrity and tonal clarity. His approach is grounded in the disciplined execution of historic Larson principles, particularly laminated bracing and “built under tension” construction.

Each instrument is individually voiced, with careful attention to stiffness, responsiveness, and balance across the full frequency range. He prioritises consistency under real playing conditions, producing guitars with fast attack, strong note separation, and controlled projection.

The result is a focused, reliable instrument where function leads and tone remains precise, balanced, and authoritative.
