The SD body style was the earliest of dreadnought shaped guitars with soft shoulders and elongated body. Along with standard traditional features like rope purfling and open back tuners, the SD features a 12 fret neck joint and 1-3/4" nut width that make this guitar very player friendly. You will find complete detailed specs and photos for each model by clicking here SD-40R and here SD-40.

The Parlor craze continues! Our much anticipated Black Limba Parlor run is now available through exclusive dealers.

Black Limba, often referred to as Korina, originates in West African tropical regions. Know for it's rich textures and ease of use, it also happens to be an incredible sounding tonewood. Similar to mahogany, Black Limba offers up a warm and balanced tone with rich mids. It fairs well in clarity and sustain which is a delight when performing with smaller bodied acoustics. Combine these characteristics with AAA grade Austrian Red Spruce and you have a tone generator that will leave you 'GAS'ing.

This run is limited to 15 pieces and numbered sequentially, each signed by Jean Larrivée. Additional detailed specs include abalone rosette, our Vine logo inlay, Austrian Spruce bracing and Black Limba binding. MSRP is set at $3053 and all pieces are shipping to dealers now.

   Inlays have always played a big part

   throughout our history.

Over time, inlays come and inlays go. Some like the "Mucha Lady" and "Tambourine Girl" have been admired and found their stay for decades. Then you have inlays such as "Robin Hood". Who once adorned Presentation headstocks throughout the late 70's to late 80's, captivating the admiration and imagination of many owners of it's time.

For our 49th year, and after several decades on hiatus, Robin Hood returns to grace our custom inlaid headstocks once again. Have a look at this incredible C-10 "Robin Hood" Custom that will surely contribute to any already existing Guitar Acquisition Syndrome you may be experiencing! For more Larrivée customs and further G.A.S., have a look in our Custom Archive section.

The revolutionary new 40 Series features our innovative "Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid" bracing system design. Based on our "X-Brace" design, Jean has blended it with a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern. This means maximum strength using the least amount of material. It's a build that allows even further vibration of the soundboard, while still offering a controlled bass response. Some call it the low end "growl". The 40 Series are built in America using all solid wood and feature detailed upgrades like bone bridge pins, bone nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots and Grover 18:1 open back tuners. Jean's exciting new design means a fresh new sound that is sure to appeal to traditional and long-time Larrivée players alike. Available in Dreadnought, OM, 000, 00, and 0 body styles. Mahogany and Rosewood are standard. Custom exotic woods are available upon request. Premier Guitar Magazine review.

OCT 9, 2015   Warner Music releases Commander Chris Hadfield's album Songs From a Tin Can— the first album ever recorded in space.

It’s an out-of-this-world partnership we’re especially proud of.

When the Space Shuttle Discovery reached the International Space Station on AUG 10, 2001, few were aware it was carrying a special piece of cargo.  Along with a load of tools and supplies, the STS-105 mission was also bringing a Larrivée P-01 Parlor guitar — part of a NASA psychology program designed to help the astronauts better cope with living life in space.

A talented musician, Commander Chris Hadfield played it frequently, and used to it record a version of David Bowie’s Space Oddity - the first ever music video shot in space, seen by millions around the world.  He also used the P-01 to lay down the initial tracks for his new record, Songs From A Tin Can. Watch the premier track video for the album "FEET UP".

Larrivée is extremely proud to be a part of these first space travel folk songs.  To celebrate we’re releasing a limited reissue of the P-01 down here on earth.  The guitar comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and a copy of Songs From a Tin Can, personally signed by Commander Hadfield.

More commonly known as "Korina" wood, Black Limba is a medium weight tonewood that ranges between olive and tan in color. Usually with black and white streaking. The tone is very similar to mahogany but with the presence of increased mids, an excellent choice for players leaning towards the more warmer side than bright sounding.

This custom P-09 build will consist of premium quarter sawn Black Limba back & sides paired with Limba body binding. The soundboard will resonate to the tone of Austrian Spruce (Moonwood) with matching bracing. A combination for the purists alike. To complete this limited P-09, our traditional Vine inlay will adorn the headstock.

This P-09 Black Limba edition will be limited to 15 builds at $2603 MSRP each, all numbered sequentially and signed by Jean Larrivée. Completion date is set for mid January. Contact your dealer for availability.
