This Larrivee C09M was built during May of 1991 in Victoria, BC and features a Sitka Spruce top, Florentine cutaway and spectacular set of Flamed Maple for the sides and back! Based on the classic Larrivee L-body, which itself draws from Larrivee’s experience building classical guitars, the Larrivee C09M pairs Sitka Spruce and Maple for the sharp Florentine-cutaway body, Mahogany for the body blocks and neck, and Ebony for the bridge, head plate, and bound fingerboard.
1991
Built in Scarborough – the eastern part of Toronto – around 1991, this Lado Supra 1 shows off the quality of Joseph Kovacic’s work in building Superstrat style guitars. Here we’re looking at a Lado Supra 1, a single pickup version of the Supra. It features Lado’s typican neck through design with elegantly sculptured heel. There’s no restriction on access to the upper frets on these.

The body is the typical PRS combination of a double cutaway with carved Maple top on a Mahogany slab back, and the bolt-on neck is Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard. This example was built during 1991 at the PRS shop in Stevensville, Maryland, and carries a tobacco sunburst. The hardware includes PRS locking tuners, a PRS vintage style trem bridge, and a pair of uncovered humbuckers.

The Byrdland was introduced as a custom model for two top Nashville session players, Billy Byrd and Hank Garland.
