Larrivee

❌SOLD❌ Lawrence Nyberg Cittern Black Walnut and Redwood, 2018

On October 2, 2019 /

This lovely Lawrence Nyberg Cittern pairs a Redwood top and Black Walnut for the sides, back, and back strap (an extra layer on the back of the head). The neck is Mahogany, with Ebony used for the fingerboard and its binding, bridge, and the head plate. A K&K pickup is installed and connected to and end pin jack. Unusually for an instrument of this type, a steel string guitar-style ebony pin bridge is used rather than a floating bridge with an additional tailpiece.

❌SOLD❌ Larrivee D10 Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Natural, 1994

On September 30, 2019 /

The Larrivee D10 is based on the most popular guitar design – the classic D body square shoulder dreadnought that first appeared in the early 1930s. The Dreadnought itself was originally built around 1917 for the Oliver Ditson company, but as a round shouldered model. The first Square shoulder dreadnoughts appeared around 1931, under Martin’s own name and with the D model designation.

On September 27, 2019 /

The Larrivee L 02 Mahogany is now discontinued, but was Larrivee’s entry point for those wanting high quality steel string acoustic guitars. The L-02 was a slope shoulder dreadnought design. Here we’re looking at a Larrivee L 02, dating to May 12 2010 at Larrivee’s workshop in Victoria, BC, three years before all Larrivee manufacturing moved to Oxnard, California.

❌SOLD❌ Larrivee OO Body Steel String Guitar Rosewood, 1976

On September 16, 2019 /

Here is a lovely item from the past – a Larrivee OO body steel string guitar from 1976 in Toronto, just as The Twelfth Fret opened, with signatures from both Jean Larrivee (on the label) and Tony Duggan-Smith (discreetly engraved in the headstock inlay). At the time this guitar was built, I was just moving to The Twelfth Fret from the late Darryl Williams’ shop in Schomberg, Ontario, as the first Twelfth Fret employee.

❌SOLD❌ Linda Manzer Cutaway Steel String Guitar Natural 1980

On July 16, 2019 /

Here we are looking at a Linda Manzer cutaway steel string acoustic built during 1980 in Toronto. It features a concert body using Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood for the back, sides and headplate, Mahogany for the neck and Ebony for the bridge and bound fingerboard. The nut and saddle are bone. Schaller tuning machines with ebony buttons are installed at the head, and a K&K pickup set has been installed to an endpin jack. This example features Abalone for the rosette and position markers – a mix of dots and a leaflet with stem. The top has a small thin clear plastic tap plate, an excellent idea that protects the top without hiding it.

❌SOLD❌ Jean Larrivee Classical Guitar, 1974

On July 9, 2019 /

Here we have a Jean Larrivee classical guitar with Cedar top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, built during 1975 at the Toronto shop. At this time, Larrivee and others were working with the late Edgar Monch, who was still in Toronto and the influences are visible on this Hauser style guitar. Jean Larrivee has been one of the more influential Canadian guitar builders. Building his first instruments in his home in Toronto during the late 1960’s, Larrivee worked with and learned from Monch. As his interest, skill and collection of tools and wood increased, he moved to ever-larger quarters and attracted his own trainees.
