The guitar just emerged from yet another collection we have access to, full of instruments that were purchased new and rarely played, if ever.
Featuring premium Brazilian rosewood back and sides paired with a AAA Sitka spruce top, this concert-body guitar delivers exceptional tonal depth, crystalline clarity, and lush sustain. Its ornate “Woman in Mirror” inlay, designed by Wendy Larrivée, showcases the artistry that has made Larrivée a leader in hand-inlaid custom work.
The C-10B’s elegant Venetian cutaway provides full access to upper frets, while the symmetrical X-bracing and meticulous voicing create a perfectly balanced response across all registers. Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge, and high-grade appointments—including abalone purfling and custom rosette—complete a truly world-class acoustic instrument.
This example is in mint condition, showing careful ownership and outstanding playability. It comes with its original hard shell case, polish cloth, truss rod wrench, and all the paperwork that it left Larrivee with. A collector-level piece equally suited for the studio, stage, or curated acoustic collection.
