NEW ARRIVAL This is a fine example of a hand made American guitar of the highest quality - even though Jean Larrivee was originally based in Canada, and still sources a lot of his tone woods from there, there's something distinctively earthy about the tone of Larivee’s guitars. With a Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Flame Maple binding, Ebony fingerboard and bridge, herringbone trim, Abalone fingerboard inlays, and tortoise pickguard - this guitar looks as beautiful as it sounds. This guitar has a big sound, very resonant with excellent sustain - it has great definition and clarity for fingerpicking, and works well for strumming. The guitar is in excellent condition, the neck feels great and the action is just right. It comes in it's original deluxe hard case.
