Here for sale we have a Larrivee D-03 acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Canada in 2002, this guitar features an all solid construction comprising a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. The body is double bound along with the neck, whilst the top features a multi-stripe rosette. This guitar is fitted with a High-Density Bone saddle and nut as well as a set of Chrome sealed tuning machines.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile that might be described as a 'C' shape. This fills the hand nicely for a comfortable grip when chord playing, but remains slim enough for fast articulate playing. The Ebony fingerboard is luxurious under the fingers, and with its 16" radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register, practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The familiar lines of the dreadnought body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, ensuring that long practice sessions and gigs are an absolute breeze.
The acoustic voice of the Larrivee D-03 is rich and well balanced thanks to the selection of tone woods used in its construction. All solid woods ensure that the instrument resonates beautifully, adding a real depth and character to the tone. The low end is warm without being too soft, the mid range is punchy and clear, whilst the treble response adds a shimmer and sparkle to every note played on the instrument. The Sitka Spruce top projects very well, meaning that there is plenty of dynamic range to be found in this guitar, which feels nicely responsive to the player's touch.
