Part of Larrivee's 40 Mahogany Legacy Series, the 000-40 boasts the company's Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid bracing system for maximum soundboard vibration, but with controlled low-end response. This all-solid-wood acoustic guitar was built from mahogany, with a hand-fit dovetail joint for a lock-tight fit and optimal sustain. The 000-40 is eminently playable, courtesy of its comfortable mahogany neck and smooth ebony fingerboard. You also get a whole host of high-end appointments, including a bone nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard inlays, and 18:1 open-back tuners. The Larrivee 000-40 comes garlanded with maple Bold Rope binding, a Bold Rope rosette, a tortoise pickguard, and an attention-grabbing satin finish.
The guitarists here at Sweetwater are blown away by the Larrivee 000-40's comfortable playability. Its mahogany neck joins its body at the 12th fret, freeing up plenty of room for your fleet-fingered fretwork. Its slippery ebony fingerboard feels downright effortless. Beyond that, a bone nut and compensated bone saddles give this acoustic guitar the level of performance you'd expect from a high-end instruments. Finally, the 000-40's neck is finished off with diamond fingerboard inlays and a stunning inlaid headstock logo.
The 000-40 Mahogany Legacy Series features Larrivee's Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid bracing system. Based on the company's tried-and-true X-brace design, Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid bracing blends a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with a standard X-brace. This not only facilitates maximum strength using the least amount of material, but it also encourages free vibration of the guitar's soundboard, all while offering a controlled dynamic bass response.
Since 1967, Larrivee has approached guitar building differently. From uniquely designed bracing systems to eco-sourced, hand-selected tonewoods, each Larrivee instrument that leaves the factory doors has something remarkable to offer the world. Still refining his guitar models and searching for the finest tonewoods the world has to offer, founder Jean Larrivee now works with his two sons to produce peerless instruments with legendary tone and quality.
