Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. The binding of the guitar had come unglued. Our luthier corrected and reset the binding to like-factory condition. No further work was needed.
Unveil a truly remarkable find with this stunning 1997 Larrivée D-05! This dreadnought is a magnificent mahogany monster, boasting a beautiful Sitka spruce top and rich, resonating tones that only a vintage instrument can produce. Crafted with care by Larrivée's legendary luthiers, its hand-fit dovetail neck and symmetrical parabolic bracing make it an absolutely rock-solid instrument, ready to sing for decades to come. The classic combination of its ebony fretboard and tasteful Mother of Pearl inlays creates a genuinely timeless look and feel. This guitar is a sound, soulful investment for any player, whether you're a performing artist or an avid collector. With a deep voice and perfect playability, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
