Larrivee D-40R (2019) - Sitka/East Indian Rosewood

Larrivee guitars have a well-earned reputation as excellent, boutique quality instruments with reasonable prices.  This guitar, from Larrivee's rosewood Legacy series and made with all solid woods, is a wonderful example of exceptional quality and great value. It is loud, warm, responsive to flat picking or finger style and very musical, and can easily hold its own against much more expensive spruce and rosewood dreadnoughts.  It has upscale looks with its maple binding and satin finish, and comfortable playability with a great set-up and well shaped neck. This one was previously a floor model and feels brand new, with only minimal evidence that it has ever been played.  This is a wonderful dreadnought, regardless of price. Given this price point, it is a steal.
