"A superb fingerpicker for the appreciator of walnut over mahogany".

Previously unavailable outside the Traditional Series, the Larrivée SO body shape (or OOO as it is more commonly known) is now available in the -03 series for a limited time. Available with either Walnut or Rosewood back and sides, Acoustic magazine this month review the SO-03 WL (Walnut).

"Knowing how ornate their guitars can be made, it's always interesting to see how much attention has gone into a comparatively simple-looking guitar..."

"The minimalism here includes the attributes of the single-piece mahogany neck, which is equally as smooth to the touch, employing a shallow C cross section, making it immensely playable".

"The clinical characteristic is emphasised with flawless fretting of the narrow frets, small dot position markers and consistently grained African ebony fingerboard aesthetics. Here you will get more smoothness and satin under the fingertips".

"...walnut also generates great tones, rich with wave-like pulsing sustain and mid-range detail. It also has a reasonable degree of tightened bass without being too open, and at the same time lots of top-end detail and harmonic qualities ring out...In this guitar it is really at home - focused, linear and clear".

"Depending on how much sustain you actually desire from a fingerpicker, you may like to think about this, as this guitar has great merit in this area and the pulsing quality we spoke of engenders liveliness in your playing".

"This is for someone who appreciates wood, playability, and something that is a little different without being a departure into the unknown".

The full review can be found in the February issue (Issue 62) of Acoustic magazine on sale now. The Larrivée SO-03 WL (OOO-03 WL) is also available now at £1699 RRP inc VAT.
