LARRIVEE GUITARS IN STOCK, September 4th, 2010
YES!!!!!!! BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD!!
If you were dreaming to own the most exquisite guitar in the world, your prayers have been answered!! This is precious wood that can never be re-produced in the lush Brazilian rainforests, which are diminishing in size every day! We consider our personal Brazilian Rosewood Larrivee guitars to be Family Heirlooms that will be treasured today and passed down to future generations of players!
L-10E Brazilian Rosewood--This Magnificent, extinct Rosewood was cut decades ago! Combining this wood with a Premium Sitka Spruce top produces a sound that is full and lush with the power that you would expect from a much older, more "seasoned" instrument! You will enjoy that this grand piano of an instrument is equipped with the no-cut Imix pickup from Lloyd Baggs! This may be your last opportunity to own an instrument with such exquisite and incredibly rare Brazilian Rosewood!
OM-10 Brazilian Rosewood--
L-09 Custom Brazilian Rosewood--SOLD!
D-09 Brazilian Rosewood--Here is a guitar that could rightfully wear the title, "King of the Dreadnoughts!" It fairly explodes with powerful, rich tones! The old-growth Brazilian Rosewood, which is now extinct, is paired with an exquisite piece of Sitka Spruce.
P-09 Brazilian Rosewood, #2--This precious, small-bodied guitar is such a joy to strum and hold! It is not a quiet little strummer; but, instead, it livens up immediately when you begin to play it!
LS-03, Limited Edition, 12-fret Join--This very comfortable small-bodied Larrivee ("LS" size), features solid Mahogany back and sides, and solid Spruce on the top.
L-03, Walnut/Sitka Spruce, Limited Edition-- Here is another delightful Larrivee L incarnation, made with warm, silky-sounding Walnut, and fine and versatile Sitka Spruce! Playability is superb, and sound is enchanting and pleasure-filled! This is a wonderful opportunity to own a very special-sounding Larrivee at an extremely affordable price!
Larrivee's Retail Price:$1799.WILDWOOD'S Wonderful PRICE: $1099!
Custom L-09, Lacewood--This exquisitely beautiful wood is very dense, with powerful volume and excellent balance between the bass, mid, and treble ranges. What makes this unique tonewood so outstanding is the tonal envelope it creates. The sound is big, quick, and articulate. This wood's scientific name is Roupala Brasilensis, and it grows deep in the rainforest in South America. In addition to a remarkable Sitka Spruce top, this guitar also boasts of those very fine Schaller tuning machines! The sustain on this guitar is unbelieveable, and the sound projects like it was amped up! It is equally at home as a flatpicked guitar, or an intricate fingerstying treasure!
