Larrivee / O-01 Mahogany / 2001 / Natural / Guitar
Larrivee started building their first parlour guitars in 1999, and in a short space of time have become considered one of the premier builders in the market - aimed at pro level, but at a price that won’t break the bank. This O-01 with a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides is a classic looking guitar, the satin finish keeps it understated, and the bound Ebony fingerboard with no dot markers is simple and classy. Considering the small body size, this guitar has a big sound, very resonant with excellent sustain. The guitar works well for strumming, and has great definition and clarity for fingerpicking. The guitar is in very good condition, with one superficial top crack on the lower bout, treble side, and has upgraded Waverley open back tuners. The neck feels great and the action is just right. It comes in a non original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
