Here at SCMusic 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 starts 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.
Introducing the Larrivee OM-50E Orchestra Acoustic Electric Guitar with LR Baggs Electronics and Hard Case
The hand made OM-50 is part of Larrivee’s Traditional Series, which has traditional “vintage” features such as the flat-top head stock, volute and pearl diamond inlays whilst maintaining the unique Larrivee balance. The Traditional Series is built using Larrivee’s standard symmetrical parabolic bracing which provides superb mid range punch. It also comes with a larger sound hole to accentuate the low-end and heighten the overall volume. Other features include herringbone trim, a traditional angled bone nut and TUSQ saddle and open-back style tuners.
SPECIAL B-STOCK CLEARANCE
We are very careful with our instruments at southcoastmusic and this wonderful hand made guitar is one of the reasons we are so protective. It has taken a knock to the face (see image below).
While we have had it repaired by World renowned Luthier, Robin Moyes, it has left a tiny area that is a little darker. We are happy to provide more photos if required but the boss has spoken and we have absolutely slashed the price of this beautiful instrument by more than $1400! While it is still available, you can buy it for a crazy $2,999.00 – including delivery to anywhere in Australia and that is worth at least another $100! This is a player’s guitar and we have no doubt that you will be adding your own “soul marks”. The guitar has undergone a full PRO-SCM setup and includes a Hard Case…what are you waiting for!
