| When I handed this guitar to David Martin to
record an audio file, after playing it for all of thirty seconds
he said "this one is going to record really well". After I
played it myself, I knew exactly what he was talking about.
This Custom L-05 Mahogany Top has just the perfect bass-mid-treble balance
and seems to effortlessly throw sound with just a light right hand attack!
You hear lots of positive chatter on the
internet about Larrivee "Hog-tops" but I rarely get one in my hands to
hear what all of the fuss is about. Well now I get it. This
guitar still has all of the signature Larrivee sonic attributes ... the
nice crisp attack transient, a meaty note core followed by an effervescent
overtone series, lots of space between the notes ... but the mahogany
offers a different midrange sonority that is a very nice addition to the
already impressive Larrivee tone menu! |
