A truly outstanding build (Lars Rasmussen)

That's a stunning instrument. It's clean, subtle and oozes quality. It's a guitar that's going to look at good in 50 years as it does today.

Thanks! I’ll have more thoughts once I’ve played it for a few weeks. I’ll make sure to report back

What a beautiful instrument! Really enjoyed the videos as well.

Congrats once again...

Thanks. The videos are great. I’ll try to get one of me playing over the coming months too

I really hesitated between an OM and one of his smaller guitars. They sound great and I can imagine them being even easier to play. Hope I get to try one at some point. How would you describe it?

Thanks! It’s definitely one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve seen or played. So much attention to detail. I’ll try to get some close up pictures over the coming weeks!

This has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. I love minimalist look - let the woods speak for themselves.

I recently received a custom OM build from Noemi in Italy. I am enamored by the guitar, playability, tone, and aesthetic. I asked her what luthiers she respects and think make the best guitars now, and the first person she mentioned was Lars Rasmussen. After looking at a few and hearing youtube clips, I can see why. She also said he is a great guy.

What do you think of the soundport on your guitar?

Totally agree! I have one of Lars's guitars in the shop, and it just knocked me on my butt.
