The Gibson J-45 has been a guitarist’s choice almost since its introduction. Though its tonal representation isn’t always the most harmonically complete, it has a warm, enveloping sound that works extremely well accompanying a singer.

Larrivee D-09 Rosewood Dreadnought Guitar, 1996

 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.
