Larrivee LV-03 Mahogany Satin, 2008

On August 23, 2023 /

The Larrivee LV-03 Mahogany Steel String Acoustic Guitar is part of the Recording series, and uses the traditional Larrivee L body, drawn from the proportions of the Hauser style classical guitar. This gives it a very reliable, even tonal representation throughout the spectrum and plenty of volume when requested. The cutaway definitely adds to the upper fret accessibility.

The Martin D-41 Dreadnought Centennial commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first Dreadnought guitars, built by Martin for the Charles H. Ditson company. For this anniversary, a number of Dreadnought models were produced in limited numbers. Named for what was then the largest warship ever built – the 1906 HMS Dreadnought – the first Martin / Ditson Dreadnoughts were so large and produced so much bass that it might have been marketed as a bass guitar.
