Larrivee 000-50 and 000-60 Guitars

These new triple-0 Larrivees are just a DELIGHT to play!!!!!!!!!! As much as they look like a circa 1920's parlor guitar they still have that unmistakable Larrivee sonic fingerprint; that super detail in the overtones; that unbelievable balance and that crisp, explosive attack transient! Add these tone attributes to the sweet midrange and powerful bass register that is inherent in a 12-fret 'long body' parlor guitar and you have the quintessential fingerstyle instrument.

After I got past my drooling over the meticulously executed slotted peghead, ultra-clean dart volute, herringbone marquetry and clean lines of the pyramid bridge, I hung my inspection light in the soundhole and took a look around 'under the hood'. As expected the craftsmanship is clean and flawless even where you can't see it! Jean has employed his tried and true symmetrical X-brace system with maple bridge plate to achieve yet another colour on the Larrivee tone palette!

We are lucky to have secured one Larrivee 000-50 (mahogany back & sides) and one 000-60 (rosewood back & sides) from the very first batch made, so if you're in our neck of the woods, come in and check them out!
