Winter NAMM 2012: Larrivee 45th Anniversary Model:
January 19th, 2012

As part of our 45th Anniversary celebrations, Jean Larrivee Guitars USA is releasing a new Limited Edition guitar!

The LV-10 45th Anniversary Model is constructed with exceptionally figured Silverwood found on one of Jeans recent trips to India, while the soundboard is made from Jean's Private reserve of Sitka tops. The neck is lightweight Genuine South American Mahogany and features a new custom headstock inlay we simply call "The torch" which pays tribute to the inlays of the early 1900's while perfectly keeping with the modern Larrivee Style. The ebony fretboard & bridge also feature matching torch inlays, but there will also be a special "1967-2012" inlay at the 12th fret. The instrument is bound in Indian rosewood with abalone purfling. The guitar also features our CNC made bone nut and saddles, as well as our exclusive new bone bridge pins.

The series is strictly limited to 45 numbered and signed pieces; each guitar coming with its own Certificate of Authenticity. The MSRP on the instrument is $4500, and deliveries will begin in mid march.

Photographic updates of the build process will soon be available on Facebook and Twitter.
