Build Thread: ARK Senorita S6-12
Hello,
excited to finally be off of the wait list for a build by Tony Klassen aka ARK New Era. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Tony, he lives in Indiana and builds amazing versions of some old guitars. The S6 is based on a Bacon & Day model (most famously played by John Fahey) and the "12" designates that this will be a 12-fret guitar. Specs: Adirondack top Honduran Mahogany back and sides Full body late 30's sunburst Pearl block fingerboard inlay Short Scale Soft V neck

Wow, you are going to love that guitar. Last year I took delivery of one of his Larsen models and I couldn't be happier. Tony is a real pro unfortunately his waiting list has gone from 2 years to 4 1/2 years. keep us posted

It's nice to see some of the more obscure guitar styles gaining in popularity.

Awesome!
Tony is a great builder who stands behind his guitars and is easy to work with as well. Can't wait for the sound clips!
