For Sale: 2006 Ark New Era Euphonon SOLD

[jaz761]

Hoped it wouldn't come to this, but here we are. This is an incredible hand-built 2006 Round Shoulder Euphonon Style 3 built by Tony Klassen in Indiana. I have always wanted one of these and was lucky enough to find this one. It's an incredible instrument in every way; sound, finish, feel. Adirondack top, White Oak back and sides. Two little dings on the top and a few very faint marks on the headstock. About the classiest, most understated guitar you'd ever hope to meet. Big, clear sound with lots of midrange punch and tight bass. Articulate and present in every way. TKL style case is a perfect fit.

Asking $SOLD. Glad to safely facilitate an in-person transaction for a discount.

Steve sent me the photos. tempting me, but I had just ordered a custom-made one from a luthier. Then the guy backed out 2 days after I turned yours down. It is a beautiful back and you are offering it at a good price. I might have thought again but realized it couldn't of course address the unique problems that caused me to look for the custom in the first place. Someone's gonna love that thing. Good luck with it. If you want to trade, PM me.

Here are some other soundclips:


My playing might be better with a smashed hand.These are an Apogee mic into GB with no compression and a very mall amount of reverb.
