Watch
Why it matters
Larrivée builds all of its instruments from solid wood, with no laminates anywhere in the range, which is unusual at the price of an 03-series guitar. The L body is the company's own design, with a broad lower bout and an even response that works for strumming and fingerstyle alike. The 09 series adds trim and material upgrades over the 03 without changing the shape.
Note
The signature Larrivée mid-size body.
