This Larrivee D-40R Bluegrass Special is the built specifically for the Bluegrass player. Featuring a Sitka Spruce top, hand-selected by the folks at Larrivee specifically for maximum bluegrass projection. Add to that, an enlarged sound hole for increased volume and a wider soundstage. Beautiful Koa binding, and Larrivee's JCL inlay at the 12th fret, further set this D-40R apart as something special. For the Bluegrass player, this one's a killer!

Larrivee's revolutionary 40 Series features Jean's innovative "Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid" bracing system design. Based on their tried and true "X-Brace" design, Jean blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern. This means maximum strength using the least amount of material. It's a build that allows even further vibration of the soundboard, while still offering a controlled bass response. The 40 Series are built in America using all solid wood, like all Larrivée's, and feature brand new upgrades like bone bridge pins, nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots and Grover 18:1 open back tuners. Jean's exciting design means a fresh new sound that is sure to appeal to traditional and long-time Larrivee players alike.

The SD-44 is Larrivee's 12-Fret, slope-shouldered Dreadnought. Powerful low-end, clear treble response, and lots of punch. The 44 Legacy Series has all the same features and specs as Larrivee's 40 Series satin line, with the addition of their high-gloss finish. Based on Larrivee's tried and true "X-Brace" design, Jean Larrivee blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with their standard X-Brace. This means maximum strength using the least amount of material. It's a build that allows even further vibration of the soundboard, while still offering a controlled dynamic bass response. Like all Larrivée's, the 40 Series are built in America using only all solid wood and feature upgrades like bone nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots, and 18:1 open-back tuners. Jean's revolutionary new bracing design means a robust and unique tone that is sure to appeal to traditional and long-time Larrivée players alike.

Wrapped in a natural finish and prepared with Dana’s all-torrefied “secret sauce” of Adirondack spruce and European maple, Bourgeois’ first F-style mandolin is a unique take on a Golden Era classic. Bill James tailpiece, Golden Age tuners, Loar-style case and our signature Amaryllis inlay round out the simple but elegant appointments of this value-saturated model.

When Larrivee was moving, they discovered some things they didn't know they had...like a pallet of Moon wood tops in the corner from over 10 years ago. Just sitting there aging. Here's an OM-40-RW with one of these special tops. To make it even more special, it has a vine logo set in a rosewood headstock overlay with a signed, interior label.
Limited to 100 pieces.
