NO RESERVE. Although the only designating mark on this guitar is the Euphonon name stamped on the interior center strip, it is typical of Euphonon guitars that the Larson Brothers were making during the late ’30s and 1940s. With its massive 17-inch body and maple back and sides, it is a very loud and bright-sounding instrument that is comparable to (and in some ways better than) the maple-body J-200 guitars that Gibson offered in the ’50s.


The appointments on this guitar are rather plain, with the engraved star-shaped bridge inlays being on exception. The material quality is quite high, however, from the lovely figured maple on the back to the tight-grained spruce on the top.
