Excellent interview... love Sweetwater!
I wish there was a video about the change in necks in the 90’s. I’d like to know precisely what year did the change happen.
I had an OM-03r or OM-06r (I don’t recall exactly). It had a clear pickguard. I think it was a 96’. I know that there was a change in necks sometime in the 90’s. This one had a neck reminiscent of an electric. Wide but thin from a depth perspective. I loved that guitar and when some simpleton fell and pushed the back through a guitar stand it broke my heart. I could never look at it the same even if repaired. I bought a D-03R and it’s incredibly loud but it’s not like my OM. If I knew when the neck change happened and/or what models had that neck, I would buy one in a second.
Can we all just appreciate how good of an interviewer Gallagher is?
Yep, Bravo!
He's also a very decent guitar player aswell if anyone's heard him playing! 👍
On the the recommendation of Jon, I bought a OM-40R. I have to say, the guitar has impressed me so much that I haven't picked up another acoustic in my collection for 3 weeks.
larrivee is the most underrated acoustic guitar company out there imo. incredible craftsmanship at a modest price.
I really like his parlor guitars.
Bought my first guitar back in 1997, it was a Larrivee OM-3R. Have almost 20 now (never sold one) and the Larrivee has appreciated 4x and is as sweet sounding now as it was then. I do keep it detuned to keep the neck straight.
Great story. Merci Jean Larrivée!
I picked up a D-05 with a blend system in 2001 at a Music Store and had to have it! I just did a fret dressing and set up on it and it absolutely sounds remarkable. When you play it through a PA system and blend the under saddle pick up with the microphone it’s stunning!
I own several nice guitars but my Larrivee LV03 with the satin finish and the maple leaf inlays up the fingerboard and headstock is my favourite. Amazing sound and playability. And the label is signed by Jean Larrivee himself!
LV03 is so beautiful. They say there are guitars that inspire you to write music and the LV03 absolutely does that in the way it plays. Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Larrivée, Boucher, Godin. Proud of my fellows french-canadians !
And why not Bourgeois !
I own a Godin, just bought a custom Boucher... my next guitar will be a Larrivée!
I have an OMV-09E and recently acquired a D-09. I really like the Larrivee sound signature and their neck shape.
I went from a $35 to one day in 2006 being gifted with a Vancouver made OM-03R. After 16 years it’s still going strong and I will never part with it. It’s taken some hard knocks but your build quality is so good that it is still structurally sound.
This Larivee creed sounds like the company I worked for over a decade. A Japanese factory automation controls and robotics company FANUC. Their creed was GenMitsu, "Strict Preciseness".
I have owned a cedar top Larivee D-03 since the 90s. Best purchase I ever made, still plays great, sounds better with age.
These rad guys are my bosses & I fcking love working here at Larivée, man
The old Larrivee guitars are great with very high quality and brilliant QC right throughout the range. The recent ones are mass produced with very poor QC on anything below a L09. The 40 series guitars are very hit and miss - mostly miss. They sound good but you are nearly always going to need to trim the saddles and either file or build up the nut - which for most people will require the extra expense of a luthier.
I bought a “new” BC made Larrivee L09 about 15 years ago. Great guitar but parted ways with it for a Santa Cruz.
Years later, bought a California made D-60.
Returned it within 3 days. Something is off with the USA made guitars.
My Larrivèe 05 and my Collings 002H are my precious.
Just love my lefthanded om40R…. A dream guitar that I bought a little more than a year ago.
I purchased a 1981 L-19 in 1985 and I still play it today. It has seasoned so well it’s tone and patina is superb. It’s such a well made guitar thanks for making such lovely guitars
I have an old made in Canada Om-03 model larrivee. Best guitar I’ve ever owned and played. As the instrument continues to age, it also continues to sound ever so much sweeter. Glad to see the brand grow. Still play my larrivee nightly.
I would buy your guitar if possible.
I had an OM-03r or OM-06r (I don’t recall exactly). It had a clear pickguard. I think it was a 96’. I know that there was a change in necks sometime in the 90’s. This one had a neck reminiscent of an electric. Wide but thin from a depth perspective. I loved that guitar and when some simpleton fell and pushed the back through a guitar stand it broke my heart. I could never look at it the same even if repaired. I bought a D-03R and it’s incredibly loud but it’s not like my OM. If I knew when the neck change happened and/or what models had that neck, I would buy one in a second.
@@JoeIsOut2lunch sorry to hear about you om! I would be heartbroken if that happened to me. But I’m glad to hear you still have a larrivee. I don’t think I’ll ever part with my OM if I’m being honest. But if I do I’ll let ya know. I did post a video of it on my channel if you were interested in hearing it for fun. Cheers 🍻
I’ve got one! I have a Larrivée LCJ-19 that I special-ordered in 1995. It’s jumbo cutaway with flame maple sides and back. I was after something like a J-200 with a cutaway, and Gibson wasn’t making anything like that at that time, so I went with Larrivée. It’s a great guitar, just an absolute cannon, but I’m primarily an electric player, so I had a pickup installed in it. When I took delivery of the guitar it was strictly acoustic, and I played it for about a week before taking it to a tech for the pickup installation. It’s an older (well, it was current then) Fishman setup with the preamp mounted in the side of the guitar. So I heard it both ways, without and with the preamp mounted, and noticed no difference either way in the acoustic tone. It still sounds better acoustcally than it does plugged in, but that’s often the case when trying to amplify an acoustic guitar. Despite being an electric player, I play the Larrivée acoustically more than I do amplified.
I own a 1977 Larrivee L-11. Bought it new, love it like crazy. Beauty.
Love my two Larrivées. Keep on building these fine instruments.
my early 80s L09 is amazing in every way love it Allan
I’ve bought three Larrivee guitars and love them all. Every Larrivee I’ve ever played was excellent. I can’t say that about any other manufacturer. They truly are fantastic.
My Favorites for the last 30 years. Glad to see a new relationship being formed with my two favorite companies. BRAVO!
I have an OMV-05E I bought in 2002. Love it just as much today.
Would love a 12 string and was wondering if my ears would be happy with Larrive's product.
I look forward to buying a Larrivee from Sweetwater in the future. Say what you will, but the L-body sounds so dred-like. It’s great for bluegrass.
I have a Larrivee LV-05 that I've had since 2005. It's a great sounding guitar.
My OM-40 will be with me forever! Someday, I'll have a Larrivee 12 string!
Me too, Louis..
Great interview. Recently tried out a dozen different guitars. To make it as objective as possible, I recorded the same 2 songs on each guitar via my iPhone. One was strummed and one was picked.
The clear winner was the Larrivee OM-40. Of course the finger picking sounded great, but the amount of bass that comes out of the OM body was a delight.
So, I am a happy new Larrivee owner. And I am already thinking of who in my family I should pass it on to down the road. Xxx
I had Martin I had a Taylor I had a Gibson and now I have a Larrivee the best playing and sounding guitar plugged in or not the best dang guitar I have ever had I am a huge fan of these
only one complaint I need to take the strings off to change the battery other than that it is amazing
My 10/12/2000 DV-10 with Fishman blended electronics sounds just as incredible plugged in on stage as it does being fingerpicked quietly in my living room. This guitar is amazingly playable, solid, and balanced while being strikingly beautiful 23 years into my stewardship.
Interesting interview! Thank you for posting.
I owned an older L series from back in the late 1970s which I loved, but wanted to build my 3d guitar but at the time (1994) couldn't afford the wood as I wanted really high grade. A friend of mine offered to buy me the materials if I gave him my Larrivee which I did but later regretted. Anyway, in 2006 I decided to buy a new L-09 which i still have. The older it gets the better it sounds. I now live in the Philippines and people here never heard of the brand but they really love the sound. Thank you Johnny 😊
My fave brand. Best guitar I have is an OM-02 Sitka/sapele which has only improved
with age
(sapele wins over mahogany imo). Plays and sounds a dream. Considering a custom 12 fret with cutaway now. Thank you for these guitars!!
I chose a Larrivee over a Martin. Best decision ever.
I just got a 2001 D-09 Rosewood/Sitka Spruce Top with a factory installed pickup it’s a beauty
I absolutely love my 1999 Maple CS-09. We are married for life. Originally, I was inspired by Bruce Cockburn's playing of Jean Larrivee's instruments. I still would like to own a 6 string Jumbo, a Jumbo 12 String and an L-10.
Maybe a Presentation model. I love Larrivee's guitars.. I fingerstyle, but do use plectrum..
Larrivee is probably the most underrated acoustic guitar builder in the world.
I've never heard of them & then out of blue's there a 00040-R up for sale two yr's old & I bought it I knew as soon as I got it in my hand's this what I've been looking for most of my we just bonded no money would get it off me now no price to say I love it would be an under statement tk you Mr Larrivee
Thank you-inspired!
I have many guitars. My 00-40r is one of the best.
Personally I think Larrivee is the best factory made guitar available. Guitars made as they should be. Affordable or not. The wood section, the design, and company culture make all other acoustic guitar companies look silly.
Im shopping around for a boucher and a larrivee. But to be fair, having tried some larrivee guitars I'm not that interested in the boucher anymore.
There's tension between the generations at 18:40. Master Larrivee wants the public to know that nothing fundamental will change while young Jedi apprentice Larrivee boy wants people to know that the company is hip and open to change
I love my Larrivee and will never part with it.
I purchased a Larrivee D-03R in 2002. Sounds richer as it matures…….
I was expecting Gallagher to smash a Larry guitar at the end. Or is it a watermelon?
💥🍉🔨
How is the d 03 considered?
my om-03 blows away any Martin twice the price.
…!!? NOT AFFORDABLE AT ALL…!
For what you are getting, a totally American made guitar made from solid tonewoods, yes they are affordable; more affordable than most other fully American made guitars--if not all of them. If you're interested in Larrivee pickup a used one off Reverb, you won't be sorry. Their lowest series, the 03 series guitars are prized by many players and ARE affordable for a completely solid wood guitar, and worth it.
not entry level however you don't buy the best anything without means .
