Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

A do-it-all machine from Larrivee! We were absolutely blown away by the versatility of this guitar. Our own in-house luthier's first remarks were so glowing and far reaching we all came running. For a player who wants one great instrument for every playing situation, for every style, for every occasion, this Larrivee can shapeshift around your needs perfectly. Booming and bright for bluegrass, subtle and complex for fingerstyle, and everything in between. Don't sleep on this one folks, we doubt this one will make it past the first person to lay hands on it.

SP Luthier Notes: Partial refret and setup

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

Every Larrivée is built using all solid wood. No plys or laminates are ever used.

We take the time to source all our own material, hand selecting our wood ensures we only use the best of the best. The search takes us from the humid jungles of West India to the spectacular rainforests of British Columbia. The wood then arrives at the factory, ready for our curing combination of air dry and kiln drying.  Some of it will age for up to a decade to achieve optimum tonal properties.

Whatever the wood, whatever the model, when you pick up your Larrivée, you're part of an amazing story - from forest floor to stage floor.
