Description
Euphonon 16” Jumbo Larson Brothers replica with Honduran Rosewood backs and sides, Adirondack top.Built by Frankie Montuoro out of his Chicago shop back in the day (2009). Frankie relocated his shop to SLC a couple years back. If you're familiar with Frankie's work, you know that he uses old world craftsmanship techniques rarely seen. Built "under tension" in the way that the Larsen Brothers did it back in the 1800s. Quite frankly this guitar is a piece of art that may never be replicated again. Please take some time to visit Frankie's website where you will note that he has a substantial (up to 3 year) backlog on orders. Get your's now with this beautifully sounding guitar that sounds as good as it looks. Absolutely irreplaceable!!!

Plenty of appointments!!! I had a clear
pick guard
on it for awhile and the finish has flattened
slightly
where the clear
pick guard
was. Easily remedied by installing a pick guard of your choosing. I've played this guitar for perhaps 20 hours total. It has been carefully and meticulously cared for in my humidified, smoke free home.
