Brand: Larrivee
Instrument Categories: 12 String, Acoustic Steel String, Guitars, SOLD
The Larrivee LV-03R 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.
This example dates to October 29, 2012 and was built at the old Larrivee plant in Victoria, BC. It features a Sitka Spruce top, with Indian Rosewood used for the sides, back, headplate and bridge plate, and the body is bound with maple. The Larrivee LV-03R Steel String Acoustic Guitar neck is Mahogany, with Ebony for the bridge and ivoroid-bound fingerboard. Nut and saddle are bone and Larrivee-branded tuners round out the hardware. The finish is a clear satin. It has a pickup system factory-installed – currently, this would likely be labelled an LV-03RE model but here it’s simply LV-03R. There is a sticker on the back of the head identifying the original dealer, Mountain Music in Hamilton, Ontario.
This guitar is in very good condition and plays very nicely. Wear is minor in all respects. Its tone is clear, crisp and bright with an even representation of the mids and low frequencies.
The original Larrivee hard shell, arched top case is included.
