2018 Rasmussen R Prototype, Brazilian Rosewood/Italian Spruce
A well-oiled machine. The R model of Lars Rasmussen is small bodied with a 14 1/4” lower bout and sub-four pounds’ build weight, making this guitar exceptionally comfortable in hand. The 25” scale, 16-20” compound radius fretboard, and soft V neck profile make it even moreso. The back and sides are Brazilian Rosewood imported all the way back in 1952, part of Lars’ personal stash, and are here paired with Italian Spruce on top for a great mixture of glassy trebles and a solid, earthy midrange. Gold EVO frets guarantee you won’t need a fret dress for a long time to come, and gold Alessi tuners at the headstock seal the deal with elegance. Built in 2019, this beauty is in excellent condition and setup for effortless playability.

We’ve got a special treat of Lars Rasmussen’s in the shop today: a Model O in Brazilian Rosewood and Italian Spruce. Built in 2015 but shining like a freshly minted penny, this Rasmussen is a phenomenal fingerstyle instrument: the voice is that sweet blend between dark, voluminous bass response and smooth trebles. 12 frets to the body and a short scale fretboard make for an imminently playable guitar, and the slim dimensions of Lars’ Model O strike a fine balance between the weight of the neck and the weight of the body—the whole package is a featherweight 3lbs 12oz. Fit and finish are superb, and premium appointments like Brazilian Rosewood bindings and Alessi tuners make this one really stand out. Comes wrapped up in a custom Hoffee flight case.

In the Rasmussen family, the Model S stands for Small Dreadnought—plenty of power, engineered for effortless playability. We’ve got here an almost new Model S from 2018 that boasts all of that and more, specifically with some seriously beautiful tonewoods. Premium Brazilian Rosewood makes up the back, sides, bridge, fretboard, rosette, headstock veneer, and bindings (that’s a lot of BRW!), with Italian Spruce on top and a soft V Honduran Mahogany neck with 14 frets to the body. Alessi tuners, Florentine Cutaway, and EVO frets are also included. We love the responsiveness across the registers, and how much dynamism and color Lars has managed to coax out of the trebles in particular. This Rasmussen is equally at home in Standard or DADGAD.
