Up for sale, a 1998 Larrivée D-09B dreadnought in near-mint condition, complete with a hardshell case and factory documentation. Finely crafted in Vancouver, British Columbia, this acoustic features solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides and Larrivée’s proprietary symmetrical X-bracing on the spruce top.
Big and bold-sounding, this Larrivee has exceptional string-to-string balance, with a deep bass register that has plenty of boom and kick. The trebles are brilliant and round, and the guitar is highly responsive to pick attack. Weighing 4lbs 13oz, this D-09B has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
