Such an honour to know Jean and to have been fortunate enough to have had him build me two custom left-handed guitars. It doesn't get any better than Jean Larrivee and his guitars. He is the real thing and he gives birth to magic. Happy Birthday Jean!!

Happy 80th birthday, Jean! In the early 90s, I rented a Larrivée guitar from Steve’s. I couldn’t afford to buy one at the time. My duo Bare Bones was recording an album and I wanted our songs to be the best they could be. I’ll always remember how it almost played itself… and it sounded so beautiful! 🐴🔥🎶

I have three Larrivees - an OM9, C09 and a TSB SD50. They are not common here in Scotland, but there are as few players who are in on the secret as to how good Larrivees are. I sold my Martins, Taylors and Santa Cruz once I discovered them.

Hola from Argentina!!(sorry I don't speak english) ...cuando comencé a estudiar guitarra acústica, en 2002, elegí comprar una Larriveé L-05 (comparando en el negocio con Taylor, Takamine, Yamaha y otras)...me enamoré de su sonido y de su diapasón!!..era como si estuviera fabricada para mis manos!!! Hoy, luego de 20 años, me parece aún mejor y me emociona tocarla aunque no soy un gran guitarrista. Tuve el placer de saludar unos minutos a Jean en un festival de guitarras en Italia en 2011, aprovecho éste espacio para agradecerle nuevamente a él, su familia y todo el staff de la fábrica por tan noble y bello trabajo que realizan. Thank-U & long life Larriveé!!!

I have an LV-05. As I was playing it in the store trying to get a sound I liked out of it, my wife liked what *she* heard and bought it for me before I knew it. Seemed like anyone else I handed it to could make it sing in a way I could not. Almost let this guitar go a few times, but didn't. It took me 12 years off and on to finally bond with this special instrument, but last year I finally did! Glad I still have it.

My 2004 OM-03R is the best guitar I ever owned and I owned about 30 guitars in the last 25 years. The harmonies, overtones and natural reverb are really impressive and are like no others. I never thought that a guitar could sound that good and that’s not even your best model, crazy 😜! To me, it’s a collecter item for sure! Merci Jean pour cette expérience unique !

A few years back, I walked into my local GC just to play some guitars. I picked up a Larrivee, which I never heard of before. I played it and immediately bought it. Larrivee guitars are by far the best "out of the box" guitars out there. By out of there box I mean non private luthier, spend thousands of dollars guitars.

You stopped making this model..I love it too. Huge indian rosewood back and sides. Ever think of bringing it back? Love you Jean.

Yeah Loved the OM-03 I bought last year. But then holes appeared in the neck. Wood boring beetles crawled out of it. Our dealer in Hong Kong offered no support and certainly did not act the way Larrivee say the dealer is supposed to deal with the warranty claims. I emailed Larrivee 3 times and never got so much as an acknowledgement. So what do you do? I gave my guitar back to the dealer and bought a Maton........ Excellent service right off the bat. I still go into Tom Lee Music and pick up a Larrivee and play it. I love the sound, sustain and the neck shape, great for my big hands. But man, what does it take to get you guys to reply to someone asking for help???? Oh yeah, I did pick the phone up and leave a message....... So I did try.....

piss off. Guitar maker add tremendous value to raw wood and employ many people and create beautiful instrument and they waste nothing and a lifetime of production may not amount to much more than one big house. The environment can sustain that easily.
