"A really responsive, rewardingly expressive player if ever I heard one".

Continuing the stream of fantastic reviews and praise from the press, the Larrivee L-10 is reviewed in the new issue of Guitar & Bass Magazine.

Part of the Rosewood Deluxe Series, the L-10 features all Solid Mastergrade wood Construction, Single Piece Mahogany Neck, Canadian Sitka Spruce Sound Board & Bracing, African Ebony Fretboard & Bridge, Indian Rosewood Multi-Strip Body Binding, Rosewood Back & Sides and Deluxe Fretboard & Bridge Wing Inlays.

Larrivee has its own sawmill operation in Canada, supplying many other guitar makers as well as sourcing high-grade tonewoods for itself. "No surprise then, to find the sitka spruce top on our L-10 looks absolutely first class - close and evenly grained, with a rich pattern of cross-silking. The rosewood for the back and sides is in fine fettle too, the whole body beautifully bound in coachlined rosewood, with abalone purfling around the front".

"The L-10 sounds pretty darn fab. We're always cautious of makers' own claims, but when Jean Larrivee says 'the bass is solid and tight, with great projection; midrange is strong and highs are crystal clear', he's not overstating his case. Our example really does display those traits, along with a supple, generous dynamics, and he could have added that the low end, apart from it's firmness and power, has a richly-toned warmth that resonates though the whole instrument, but not at the expense of cross-string balance and definition, which remain excellent'.

"...it's an instrument that more than earns its keep in terms of aesthetics, sheer quality, easy picking-cum-strum playability, and a highly enjoyable sound".
