Description
What makes this guitar special: 100% original & in fabulous shape. The perfect combination of spruce & rosewood produce a warm, rich tone. The body size lends itself well to loud sound projection & since it's a 12-string, the voice has a beautiful bell-like chime. All of these wonderful features are enhanced by the gorgeous abalone appointments throughout the guitar, namely the dancing lady on the headstock & intricate fretboard inlays. Professionally set up by our luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic. These particular high-end Larrivee models are becoming more & more difficult to find & this one is truly an amazing piece!
