LR: Hi, thank you for taking the time to talk! We caught up with Lars earlier this week to chat about his work, studying with the best and how it feels to have the likes of Jason Kostal posting and praising his work on social media.īM: Lars it is so great to finally get some time to chat! So first of all can, you tell our readers a little bit about yourself? It was, in fact, long-standing friend and one of the 'TNAG Original Three' luthiers Jason Kostal, at the show that said if there is anyone you can add to the TNAG roster it should be Lars. Offering a stunning mix of modern lutherie mixed with a classic look and feel and a toe dipped in that Swedish simplicity and minimalism that we all love so much.Īdmired and highly respected by the likes of Dana Bourgeois, Jason Kostal and Ted Åstrand, there is no doubt Lars is the luthier to watch this year.īoth Lars and I have been chatting for some time now about the possibility of us working together and the stars seemed to align last year when we met at the 'Woodstock Invitation Luthiers Showcase' to realise the partnership.
With a waiting list of over 2 years and a professional full-time luthier since 2016 and his career has been like a rocket ship with demand for his guitars from clients all over the world. Lars R asmussen is one of those names in the luthier world that when spoken about people’s ears prick up and listen.
