  • Very nice! Why Larrivee over a Gibson, Martin or Taylor?

  • @1Ronners

    Hi I chose the Larrivee as the cost was way cheaper than gibson or martin plus I own a martin D-35 already and a handbuilt Rosewood Dreadnaught that sounds as good or better than any D-28 martin I've ever played

  • I was using Elixir Nanoweb Mediums I think they were 11-56 gauges? I can't remember it's been a while! Thanks for watching and for the great comments

  • Hey, I was curious how loud this guitar is? I am looking at getting one of these because my gurrent guitar gets drowned out in flatpicking sessions. What did you compare this guitar with?

    Great playing! --John

  • I compared this mainly to a Martin D-18V as the mohagany wood is used on both guitars and I played a Collings D-1 the day before! I can honestly say dollar for dollar Martin or Collings does not make a guitar that sounds/plays this good for the cost of this D-50 Larrivee! When you come to a case such as this you would have to have money to throw away to buy the higher end guitars over this one!When I have more time I will explain better as to not offend Martin owners on this touchy subject

  • This guitar plays and projects louder than my hand made pre war design rosewood dreadnaught with adirondack top almost like a piano so easy to play!

  • Looks like this was posted back in 2007. Now that you've owned it for a couple of years, might be interesting to post a new video, to hear how it's opened up.

    Great tone to start with.........which is amazing to me, since I hadn't really much of an opinion about this manufacturers product.

  • awesome sound and playing!

  • This thing sounds bad ass....a lot like a high end Yairi.

  • Hey guy - I just sent you a video response. I ran across this video about a week ago and the little lick at the beginning inspired me to come up with a song. Hope you like it!

  • Tone sounds awesome and you sound damn good yourself. What's the name of that tune.

  • Great playing, nice guitar! ("Hold on a minute...")

  • @craigschirato Did they make Larrivee guitars in 1957?

  • Beautiful

  • Beautiful guitar, both visually and tonally. I had a D-60 for a couple years. Definitely the prettiest guitar I've ever owned - IMHO there is no beating Larrivee for fit and finish. I ultimately sold it, though, as I tend to prefer mahogany.

  • Great playing man! Great sounding guitar too!!! What was that, "pretty polly?"
