2007 Rasmussen 00 Model natural

Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in Sweden, including non-original Gator hardcase, built by master luthier Lars Rasmussen who has made a name as one of the best boutique builders in Europe, this is one of his earlier instruments and shows similar quality workmanship as the current line, if you have followed him over the years you may know that his instruments are exclusively sold through stores in Japan and Nashville, TN and he has a waiting list that is many years, and for many years he was also a part of Svenskt Gitarrbyggarcentrum as our in-house luthier at Oscar Guitars here in Stockholm, we are very proud over what you have accomplished Lars!, this is a very early Lars Tholstrup Rasmussen guitar which was built and finished in October 2007 so actually the very first guitar built after his journeyman exam, and according to the luthier this guitar was constructed very close to the way Dana Bourgeois built his 00-guitars as Lars did an internship at the Bourgeois workshop in the early 2000s where he picked many ideas, Adirondack spruce top and beautiful rosewood in the body, soft v-neck, diamon-inlays in the fingerboard, some scratches and a surficial burnmark from a stand in the back (maybe this can be buffed and polished off, we haven´t tried), otherwise very clean, slight fret wear from playing
