1981 Larrivee L-31 Classical

Though we have been Larrivee fans as long as this store has been open, this is the first time an older Larrivee classical guitar has come through the door. 

Luthier Jean Larrivée met German classical guitar luthier Edgar Mönch and began studying classical guitar at the age of 20. Larrivée moved to Toronto and apprenticed with Mönch and learned to build classical guitars. Jean Larrivée then built two guitars under Mönch's leadership and then  began to build guitars by himself at his home workshop. Larrivée guitars was officially started in 1968, and he moved into his first true workshop in 1970, which was above a theater. After exclusively building classical guitars, Larrivée built his first steel string guitar in 1971. 

This 1981 model L31 is in fantastic condition and a joy to play. It's Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides make it extremely punchy and articulate, with deep bellowing lows and soaring trebles. There is one repaired top crack just below the bridge on the bass side but the repair is stable and has been there quite some time. 

Original hard shell case is included. 

Amazing guitar!
