Larrivee LV-03RE / LV-03-RE

Crafted to inspire and built to perform, this all-solid Larrivee cutaway delivers the kind of balance, power, and detail that turns every chord into a statement and every note into a story. Indian rosewood back and sides meet a Canadian Sitka spruce soundboard for a tone that is rich and resonant yet stunningly articulate—deep, piano-like lows, sparkling highs, and a focused midrange that sits perfectly in a mix. Under the hood, symmetrical X-bracing and a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint unlock maximum resonance and long, singing sustain. A single-piece American mahogany neck pairs with an African ebony fretboard and bridge for snap, clarity, and rock-solid stability, while the satin sheen urethane finish keeps the top lively and the feel fast and inviting. Elegant appointments—Canadian maple body binding, a multi-strip rosette, ivoroid fretboard binding, microdot inlays, and the traditional Larrivee transparent pickguard—deliver timeless style without excess. Playability is effortless and precise. The 25.5" scale and 1-3/4" nut width give you room for expressive fingerstyle and clean, confident strumming. A compound radius (17" to 21") keeps chords comfortable and leads fluid all the way up the neck, and the Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the highest frets. Ping 18:1 tuners, nickel/silver frets, and TUSQ nut and saddle by Graphtech ensure rock-solid tuning, reliable intonation, and a consistently responsive feel. It ships with Elixir Nanoweb light gauge strings, and is built to comfortably handle mediums when you want extra punch. Stage or studio, the B-Band A5 single-source undersaddle system captures the guitar’s natural voice with clarity and warmth, giving you a feedback-resistant, ready-to-mix signal that stays true to the instrument. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this is a professional-grade partner for players who demand nuance, projection, and enduring craftsmanship—an instrument that looks as refined as it sounds, and sounds as inspiring as it feels.
