History:
Purchase: I bought this Guitar at The Pro Shop in Billings, Montana. I was looking for a great sounding 12 string. It had to be playable up and down the neck and had to be acoustic-electric. I paid about $1000.
What I Like About This Unit: I have owned Martin's, and high end Takamine's. I have played Taylors and Gibsons and many others. I have never heard or played any guitar that sounded this good. The B-Band electronics are stunning. The playability is amazing.
What I Do NOT Like About The Larrivee L-03 12RE: This is petty, but I really don't like the case. It only has three clasps and is heavy to carry around.
L-03 12RE Quality: This guitar comes standard with Spruce top and mahagony back and sides. This model has a rosewood back and sides upgrade. It is all solid wood including the Canadian Maple binding. It features a dovetail neck joint. Construction is top of the line. Comes with a clear Pick guard that really let the beauty of the guitar shine thru.
Summary: I am not sure you could find a better guitar at any price. I now have 2 other guitars that I am going to have to sell. I thought they sounded really good until I bought the Larrivee. Now I don't want to play them at all. I am going to purchase a matching 6 string with cut away. I am 100% sold on Larrivee and strongly recommend them to any serious guitar player.
