Larrivée 000-03MT Recording Series Guitar

The Larrivee 000-03 MT is an exemplary fingerpicking guitar with a 12th-fret body join. Its 000-sized body - smaller than a big dread, but bigger than a parlour - lends it the focus it needs to bring out the nuances of every note. The 12th-fret neck-to-body join results in a sweeter sound than an equivalent guitar with a more conventional 14th-fret join. All-Mahogany construction results in a characteristically warm sound, to which this particular guitar adds a level of tonal complexity not commonly elicited by this tonewood.

Larrivee prides itself on being plugged in to the entire process of producing a finished, hand-made guitar, from log selection on the forest floor to final quality control in their Oxnard, California workshop. Their aim to build not the most guitars, but the best, is evident on the 000-03 MT. Hand selection of the woods has ensured that the top, back and sides perform optimally together.

The P-03MT features ebony headplate, fretboard and bridge, with a bone nut and saddle. Combined, these components maximise the guitar’s resonance transfer from strings to body, as does the company’s signature handfit dovetail neck joint. Multi-strip purfling adorns the top, while the whole body - including the fretboard - is bound in maple. The pickguard is finished in Larrivee’s signature tortoiseshell,. Simplicity is also the key with the fretboard - punctuated by white dot fret markers - and headplate - a simple inlaid Larrivee logo with no binding.
