NGD: Larrivee L-03R

Post by bender »

While I was down in Wellington a couple of weeks ago that all round GC, Polar Bear put a one of these into my hands and instantly solved my "I want the tone of a dreadnought but fucking hate the clumsiness" dilemma. One Martin sale later and BAM! Here she is:

Beautiful sounding guitar- has everything I like about the dreadnought and concert shapes/sizes with none of what I don't.

The L series Larrivee is in many ways, the perfect acoustic guitar. I met an L10 once and also an L09 that was just......wonderful!

Good choice Ben. :thumbup:

very nice.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I've still got it, I don't play it too often , because an acoustic is loud in the house. I normally just plat my electric unplugged.

But you have a JTM45??

Great looking Larrivee there. I've got an ex-PB D-03 which I'm very pleased with.
Loving it so far
