I had a beautiful Larrivée 25 years ago but unfortunately I was broke at the time and had to pawn it. It was the last of my valuables that I could part with. Pretty sure it was worth more than my car and I'm sure I debated on selling the car instead lol. I don't remember a model number but it did have a more jumbo type body and the neck was wider than any "standard" acoustic I knew of at the time. I loved that wider neck as I was a fairly new player and fingerpicking was what I was gravitating to. I sure miss that guitar and what could have been. Those are beautiful guitars, sir. Thank you for the tour. I wish there was a place locally that sold them and I could "test drive" one and own one (or two or three 😂) again.
Thank you for the information, it was quite helpful. I've recently grown a fondness for 12 fretters. I was wondering the sonic differences between the SD-44 vs the SD-50. You mentioned some differences in the bass in the video, do you have a video comparing the 2?
No I don’t. I should. I have several SD’s in my collection. The biggest difference sonically is caused by the size of the soundhole. Changes the bass response a bit.
Hello I also have a few Larrivee guitars fantastic underrated guitars the Jumbos are unbelievable....I store my guitars tuned down a step does anyone else do this ?
Awesome vid. Thanks for the info! Curious… why prioritize a gloss top on the 40, but not the back/sides? Just to avoid oil marks from hand and arm placement?
Hi,, enjoyed your video,, I was looking for a larrivee L 09 moonspruce with rosewood,, friend offered one for $1900 is that a good price,, it is a 2021 I believe, in mint condition
Thanks for going over most of the models , I am looking to get a l-03 or 09 what are your thoughts on this for my first full size guitar as a beginner and a senior student coming back to playing after almost 50 years 8:29
Thanks for the video. Beautiful collection but I am surprised to not see an L body. Isn't that the Larrivee signature body style? And thoughts around cutaway vs. traditional? I'm leaning towards a traditional L-09 since I don't go up the neck much higher than the 12th fret, especially on an acoustic. Wonder if the non-cutaway has a little bit more depth or would that just be the variability of guitar to guitar?
The L-09 is fantastic! This video was more geared towards what I call the “hot-rod vintage” style Larrivee guitars. I will have others that deal more with the L bodies. I have a couple very cool L body videos up already as well.
@@davidadkins2563 The 44 series have an entirely different bracing system and a full gloss finish. They are essentially gloss finished 40 series guitar.
Have you ever seen a 12 fret L Body built in the Martin style? Meaning an elongated body instead of the typical way of using a 14 fret body with a 12 fret neck and shifted bridge.
They make a bigger L-body in terms of width and you can get an L with a 12 fret to the body neck but I’ve never seen both. Can be ordered that way but I bet it would take a long time.
