The Larrivee D02 is constructed of all solid wood and is made in the USA in Oxnard California. The same plant as all of their higher end models as well as sharing many of the features. This dreadnought model has an incredible tone that you will not be disappointed with. We have found Larrivee guitars to feature a very high standard of build quality and overall fit and finish. The top Sitka Spruce soundboard is of a very high quality and lends a very lively tone to the instrument. A three piece Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fretboard and Bridge also add to the acoustics. As with all Larrivee guitars, the -02 neck is fit in the traditional dove-tail method, and features an adjustable steel truss rod. The -02 series also features a High Density Bone nut and saddle for superior tone, synthetic tortoise-shell pickguard and 15:1 chrome tuners. Each -02 has a luxurious and durable satin finish and comes supplied in a quality hard case. For an American built instrument at this price it's a complete bargain!
