This summer, the McMichael Gallery of Canada will be celebrating it's 50th Anniversary. Larrivée is proud to be part of this celebration by participating in The Group Of Seven Guitar Project. The project, started by Linda Manzer, is seven unique guitars built by seven unique luthiers, each paying homage to one of the original Group of Seven artists. The seven luthiers consist of Jean Larrivée and six former protege's: Linda Manzer, William "Grit" Laskin, George Gray, Tony Duggen-Smith, Sergei de Jonge, and David Wren. Each of them remarkable master luthiers in their own right today.

To view Jean Larrivée's contribution to the project with homage to A.Y. Jackson, have a look in our archive here. For Brad Wheeler of the Globe And Mail's interview with Linda Manzer and her fascinating story of how the whole project came together click here.

   Larrivée and the Koch Leather Co.

are happy to announce the launch of our complete line of Larrivée and JCL leather accessories. We searched North America for the finest leather crafters around and we found the KOCH family in Eastern Arizona. All KOCH leathers are precision hand-made, hand-stitched using ONLY 100% Horween leather of Chicago.

We chose Josh & Jen Koch for two reasons, the first is obvious, their product quality is absolutely incredible. The second reason, their business philosophy. Similar to Jean Larrivée, Josh & Jen want to put their high-end products in to the hands of everyday people at an affordable price, and it shows. Not many businesses can say that today.

Our entire line was designed by Larrivée and the Koch family, for Larrivée. Two families of artisans coming together to bring you a spectacular product that is personal and remarkable. Please visit the Koch Leather Co. website and see why we partnered with the Koch family.  

All leather products are available through LarriveeAuthentic.com

The 40 Legacy Series has taken to the hearts of players both contemporary and traditionalists alike. While maintaining our unmistakable tone, we have managed to deliver a spirited dynamic bass response through our new, non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing system. What does all that mean? The Larrivée 40 Series packs a punch with it's gritty, "low-end growl". OM-40 review. D-40 review.

Built in America using only the highest quality materials, the 40 Series is our hottest selling guitar. Available in Rosewood and Mahogany as standard, custom wood options are always available. Keep an eye out for limited runs through select dealers and as we head into new seasons as well.

For complete specs, check out both the 40 Mahogany Series and the 40 Rosewood Series.

When it comes to sourcing the finest tonewoods in the world, nobody can pull it off like Jean Larrivée.

He is a master guitar maker with a passion for traveling the globe in search of the finest fibers. Whether it's clambering through the jungles of India for Rosewood and Silver Oak or climbing through shipping containers arriving from Africa on the shipping ports of Southern Europe. Sometimes it's day's or weeks in the Alps going through thousands of Spruce sets selecting only the finest. There is no doubt the work is demanding but for Jean, it is a labor of love.

From the steep cliffs of the tropical Hawaiian Islands, the Koa on this LV-10KK Custom is a testament to Jean's dedication sourcing the finest fibers on the planet. For complete photos and specs click here. For other available custom exotic woods, please contact your Larrivée dealer.

    We are pleased to announce the newest

addition to our interactive website. The automated "Manufacture Date Lookup". Until recently, all manufacture date requests had to be processed manually. This was in part due to several serial number format changes over the decades. Now serial number requests can be processed instantly. This is a great tool for dealers on trade-ins, repair techs requiring spec dates and customers looking to purchase used guitars privately. Or simply to know a little more about your stringed companion.

You will find the new Manufacture Date Lookup located in the "Contact" drop down menu. Any guitar that was pre 1978 will require direct contact through Customer Service. No serial numbers were used up until that point, only the last two digits of the year.

Larrivée's latest Limited Run is now delivering.

East Indian Laurel (Terminalla elliptica) is a spectacular and often overlooked species of tonewood. It has the look and feel to that of East Indian Rosewood and American and English Walnut. Known for its exceptional tap tone quality, Laurel offers up rich overtones and brilliant highs that produce an overall lively and vibrant presence. It's sound is often compared to that of Blackwood or Brazilian Rosewood.

The first of these 20 Limited Laurels featuring this spectacular tonewood are now complete and delivering to select dealers. Complimenting the select East Indian Laurel back & sides is a unique Laurel leaf headstock inlay design. Each is hand inlaid consisting of 15 individually cut pieces, creating an all new and pertinent inlay for this limited run.

Specialty pricing for this Limited 03 Series is set at $2248 MSRP for standard body styles (L, OM, D) and $2548 for LV cutaways. Check with your dealer for availability and order now. Each guitar carries Jean Larrivée's hand written signature on the inside label. Complete specs can be found in our Limited Runs & Special Editions product section on our website.
