Product Detail
The revolutionary 40 Series of Larrivee guitars showcases our 'Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid' bracing system. Based on the trusted 'X - Brace' design, Jean incorporated a non - symmetrical scalloped lateral cross - bracing pattern. This design uses minimal material for maximum strength, enabling greater soundboard vibration and a well - controlled bass response. Built in America with all solid wood, like all Larrivée guitars, the 40 Series comes with exciting new upgrades. These include bone bridge pins, nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots, and 18:1 open - back tuners. Jean's new design offers a fresh sound that will appeal to both traditional and long - time Larrivée players.

Using your Larrivee D - 40 Mahogany Legacy Series Acoustic Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the 18:1 open - back tuners. You can play it sitting or standing, and use a pick or your fingers depending on the sound you want. When you're done playing, always put it back in the hardshell case to protect it from damage. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a place with stable humidity and temperature. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the bone bridge pins, nut, and saddle regularly to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any issues like loose parts or changes in sound, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
