The Simple-6 is available in all body styles, with upgradeable tonewoods and electronics like any other Larrivée line. With MAP pricing starting at $1,549, begin your journey with Larrivée today and start the adventure. Contact your dealer today.

Tommy Emmanuel's latest recording now out on YouTube. The title track "The Wide Ocean" features Tommy's custom Larrivée C-10 12 fret "Angel". The guitar was built for Tommy over two decades ago and has since found its way onto many recorded studio albums and select live performances. Last year Tommy worked with Larrivée to design and create our newest model the Custom C-03R-TE "Tommy Emmanuel". The model echoes the fundamental features of Tommy's original C-10. It is built from East Indian Rosewood back & sides, British Columbia Sitka Spruce top, 12 fret neck joint, and the exquisite Florentine cutaway. Put them together and you have one incredible fingerstyle tone generator. For complete spec and images, check out the C-03R-TE Custom in our product section.
