Every Larrivée is built using all solid wood. No plys, laminates, or "layered" woods are ever used.
We take the time to source all our own material, hand selecting our wood ensures we only use the best of the best. The search takes us from the exotic jungles of West India to the supernatural rain forests of British Columbia. The wood then arrives at the factory, ready for our curing combination of air dry and kiln drying. Some of it will age in our warehouse for up to a decade to achieve optimum tonal properties.
Whatever the wood, whatever the model, when you pick up your Larrivée, you're part of an amazing story - from forest floor to the stage floor.
Built to the exact standards you would find on our much higher series, the 03 is built in America using all solid wood and features our hand-fit dovetail neck joint for superior fit and sustain. This series truly stands out as an industry leader for price and quality. The 03 Mahogany Series is built from solid African Khaya mahogany, kiln dried for maximum tone. Maple bound trim, herringbone purfling, rosette and satin finish are standard features on 03 Series
