ARK New Era Maurer 000-12, Adi and Koa Style 8
I'm running out of space . . . correction I have run out of space . . . for guitars in my house. Up for sale is my like-new New Era Maurer, built by Tony Klassen. For those of you that are initiated in the Larson style, this guitar is built in the Larson tradition "under tension" with laminated braces.
The Maurer is approximately 000 in shape and is, of course, a 12 fret guitar. It's decorated in the very cool and fancy Style 8 motif with the out-of-sight cloud pick guard. This particular guitar is built with a non-adjustable carbon reinforced neck to minimize the weight. The relief as perfect and the neck hasn't budged. Specs: Design: 000-12 Larson style with laminated braces Top: Adirondack spruce Back and sides: Koa Neck: Mahogany with carbon rod Scale: 25.5" Nut: 1 3/4" Saddle: 2 1/4" Bridge and fingerboard: Ebony Frets: EVO 55090 Case: Ameritage Edit: I had forgotten that Tony wanted to increase the depth of the guitar a bit from his standard depth to improve the overall tone. It was his call, so I didn’t protest. So the depth at the heel is 3 1/2” and the depth at the tail block is 4 1/8”. It's a featherweight at 3 lbs 11 oz. Building started in 2019 and was completed in 2020.

What a cool guitar! There was an Ark New Era at Fur Peace Ranch when I was there a couple of years ago. My favorite guitar of all that were there. The last evening at Fur Peace, Woody Mann played it for about 1/2 hour. Just knocked everybody over. There was a single person there who wasn’t wishin they could play that guitar just like that. Can’t imagine somebody is going to be anything but thrilled with this.

Lovely guitar - GLWTS
Juston,
This is a great guitar and seller. Wish I could. Definitely drool-worthy. How does it compare with the Montuoro we both let slip through our hands? GLWTS... Bob

Oh my!
I haven’t bought a guitar in several years and thought my GAS was cured and now you’ve gone and posted this.

Really don’t remember the model. I remember the individual who brought it sat next to me in our session a day or two. Nice guy who could play. Maybe from North Carolina? Thinking he bought one that was commissioned and returned and became available for an unexpected price? It was a pretty large guitar with a big sound - especially in contrast to the Santa Cruz PJ I had with me. It was a very unique guitar. Wonderful. Would make me think about buying this one if I were positioned to buy a guitar in this price range.

Holy Smokes
The Larson Bros built so many different models. They rarely copied themselves and were always stretching... This BOSS copy of one is sure a beauty!
Best on the sale!!! Someone will be thrilled Stay vigilant and play pretty Paul

I have one of Tony's Stefan Grossmann B&D Senorita S6's, which I really love. I wish I could afford this right now because I have no doubt it's fantastic.
