❌ SOLD ❌ Robert Laughlin Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 1983

❌ SOLD ❌ Robert Laughlin Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 1983

Robert Laughlin has been building guitars, mandolins and related stringed instruments in Vancouver,  British Columbia since 1977.   He started building following a night course run by Bill Lewis, who went on to found Luthiers Mercantile. He has since built hundreds of instruments and has developed a unique body style for his guitars; he also offers Mandolins, Octave Mandolins and Celtic Bouzoukis.
Here we have a Laughlin Concert model steel string guitar built during 1983. Its body design is a bit smaller than a dreadnought, and is built with a Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, headplate and bridge with Mahogany for the neck and Ebony for the fingerboard. A Carbon Fiber rod was built into the neck for stiffness without weight.

❌SOLD❌ Webber Jumbo Soft Cutaway Steel String Guitar, 2007 REDUCED

❌SOLD❌ Webber Jumbo Soft Cutaway Steel String Guitar, 2007 REDUCED

The Webber Jumbo body is an elegant guitar, combining the upper bout shape of an OM Style guitar with a large, circular lower bout. This tight-waisted guitar is smaller at 16 inches across than most conventional jumbo designs. As it is also slightly shallower, the body fits comfortably under the player’s arm. It delivers a big, well defined bass response with a strong mid range, making this guitar a great choice for Jazz comping or rhythm accompaniment.
Dating to 2007, this Webber Jumbo includes the Soft Cutaway option, which is a bit shorter or ‘softer’ than most traditional Venetian cutaways. In very good condition with very little wear, it is built with a Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood for the back and sides.

❌SOLD❌ Larrivee L-09 Lacewood Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 2006

❌SOLD❌ Larrivee L-09 Lacewood Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 2006

The Larrivee L-09 uses a body design based on something Jean Larrivee knows very well – the proportions of the Hauser-style classical guitar. Larrivee’s LS body makes a more direct comparison, while the L body is larger; both take the proportions and adapt their structures for steel string guitars.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!! Larrivee D-09 Rosewood Dreadnought Guitar, 1996

The Larrivee D-09 follows the pattern of one of the most successful guitar designs of all time – the Dreadnought  or D-body – pioneered by the C F Martin company in the early decades of the 20th century.    Over time, these full bodied guitars became the default body shape, providing full rich bass and midranges with clear highs,  and usually more volume than smaller instruments.
