Larrivee / LV-72 Presentation Series / 1987 / Natural / Guitar
Once in a while a guitar comes along that completely floors you and blows your socks off... This totally gorgeous, top of the range, hand built, Larrivee Presentation Series model is just such an instrument.
This was bought new by a collector in mainland Europe, put away, never used in it's case until now. Needless to say it is in totally MINT condition.
No only does it have drop dead gorgeous looks with the most intricate inlays to match anything CF Martin has produced, it has the best, balanced tone we have heard from an acoustic guitar from any manufacturer, of any vintage for some time. And you do not have to believe this as sales hype - just check out Dafydd's superb demo of this incredible guitar on our YouTube channel. Make sure you are listening on decent speakers or headphones to hear how good this guitar sounds.
Like a fine wine, this guitar is perfectly balanced tonally. It can resound deeply with crisp highs and all with the most intricate and detailed mid range that will bring a smile to the face of anyone who plays it's perfect action. Dafydd just couldn't put it down.
The Presentation series is referred to by Larrivee as the 'creme de la creme' and is basically their answer to the Martin D-45 and boy, have they done a damm good job with this one!
We are in the process of confirming exactly what type of rosewood is used in the construction but it is of the highest tonal calibre, together with a wonderful, straight grained spruce top and an ebony fingerboard.
It is not very often you see these for sale, especially in the UK so come down to Cheltenham and give it a try, we don't think you will be able to put it down :-)
