 Larrivee L-09 Lacewood Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 2006

The Larrivee L-09 uses a body design based on something Jean Larrivee knows very well – the proportions of the Hauser-style classical guitar. Larrivee’s LS body makes a more direct comparison, while the L body is larger; both take the proportions and adapt their structures for steel string guitars.
