| I can't remember a Larrivee
model that has prompted as much buzz on the street and on discussion
groups, as the the new "50" & "60" series instruments.
Well, we've finally just received our first D-50 (mahogany) and D-60
(rosewood) models and they are ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!!!!
The model D-60 pictured
above features an enlarged 4 1/4" soundhole, premium abalone shell
rosette, rolled edge 'tortoiseshell' pickguard, diamond fingerboard
inlays, hand fit dovetail neck joint, herringbone top marquetry,
maple binding with b/w/b fillet, ebony fingerboard bound in grained ivoroid,
ebony bridge with intonation compensated saddle, carved peghead 'dart'
and precision butterbean tuners with intricately engraved buttons!!!
Jean-Claude Larrivee
personally designed and monitored production of this latest powerhouse
guitar from his workshop. The result is a guitar with the signature
Larrivee clarity and tonal complexity but with much more 'wood' character
in the lower mids. When you attack this guitar aggressively with
a flatpick, the notes don't 'bloom', they explode with a velocity
I rarely associate with guitars of the dreadnought size. In short;
this guitar is breathtaking!
P.S. Keep
your eyes open for the OM-50 and OM-60 guitars, coming soon from Larrivee! |
