From Sound Technology Press Release:

Larrivée Guitars, established in 1967, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-end acoustic guitars.   The Larrivée range, consisting of nine series with eight different body shapes, are built in Oxnard, California, with the exception of the Canadian-built 03 Series.  Unlike rival manufacturers, Jean Larrivée personally travels the globe to source wood directly, ensuring supply of the highest quality tone woods available.   With over 40 years of guitar-building experience, every guitar features all solid wood construction, single-piece mahogany necks, handfit dovetail neck joints and immaculate UV cured finishes. Larrivée's recently introduced RS-4 electric guitar has received an exceptional response.

David Marshall, Managing Director of Sound Technology plc, commented, "We are honoured to become the Larrivée distributor.  These are exquisite guitars and  we are committed to taking the brand to the next level in the UK and R.O.I.  We have a proven track record in developing quality acoustic brands and we look forward to using these skills to bring this great product to market".

Dealers in the U.K. and Ireland can immediately begin placing orders with Sound Technology, with stock arriving in the week beginning Monday 28th April  2008.|

We aim to significantly increase Larrivee's presence in the UK market.  The brand will be advertised extensively, starting with a double-page spread ad in the next issue of Guitarist.
