Larrivee L-40

Just wondering if anyone has had the chance to try the L-40 model? This is one model that I haven´t come across and the major Canadian dealers of Larrivee guitars don´t even have them listed on their websites. I have tried the OM and D models and quite like them but I would like a cross between the two and I like that the L models have the 1-3/4¨ nut width.

I haven't played an L-40 mahogany, but I have played a custom L-40R with rosewood and moon spruce top. I found it to be a versatile guitar that was best for strumming while still working well for fingerstyle. The extra bass compared to an OM does make it kind of a cross between an OM and a dread like you describe. I've played a few different Larrivee L's, and I always really like them. It's a very good do-it-all kind of guitar.

Thanks! That's what I kind of see the L body as, a great "do it all" model. I especially interested in the cutaway model. I have always liked the L body from Larrivee but have never played one with the 40 bracing.
