Here at southcoastmusic we are always on the lookout for musical gear that delivers extraordinary “bang for the buck” and we especially love it when a guitar makes this grade!
In 2013, Canadian Astronaut, Commander Chris Hadfield floated through the International Space Station strumming David Bowie’s song Space Oddity on his acoustic guitar. 25 million views later and the rest of the world had been introduced to a guitar brand that Canada already knew to be great…Larrivée.
Larrivee build exceptional musical instruments – guitars that are as extraordinary and unique as the people who craft and play them. Jean-Claude Larrivée, the man whose legendary craftsmanship, passion and lifetime of experiences still finds its way into every guitar that bears his name has gathered around him a Team of Artisans that share his vision.
Larrivee Guitars are built with only the finest solid tone woods available. Hewn from fully sustainable sources and selective logging, they are there, in the forest, personally taking part. When Larrivee begin to create your instrument, it all begins on the forest floor.
Above all, Larrivee’s goal is ‘affordable luxury’ – with the aim to put high-end guitars into the hands of all players. They don’t want to build the most guitars . . . they simply want to build the best.
You may or may not have heard of Larrivee Guitars. Either way, they are played and cherished by some of the world’s greatest musicians.
