40 Legacy Series
The revolutionary new 40 Series features Larrivee's "Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid" bracing system design.
Based on Larrivée's tried and true "X-Brace" design, Jean blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with Larrivée's 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 dynamic bass response. Like all Larrivée's, the 40 Series is built in America using only all solid wood and feature brand new upgrades like bone nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots, and 18:1 open-back tuners. Jean's revolutionary new bracing design means a robust and unique tone that is sure to appeal to traditional and long-time Larrivée players alike.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Observations: This is almost the same as Larrivee's regular D-40R, with the exception of an over-sized soundhole and koa body binding. If you want to finally be heard over the mandolin player this is your guitar!
