This special edition
guitar is based on Jean’s tried and true "X-Brace" design, Jean
blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with our
standard X-Brace. 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. The 40 Series are built in
America using all solid wood, like all Larrivée's, and feature brand new
upgrades like bone bridge pins, nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots and
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.
This guitar features a
12-Fret Mahogany neck, stunning Koa on the back and sides from Jean’s private
stash. There were only 40 sets of this Koa available.
