NOGD: Larrivee 000-50
So after selling a couple of guitars I have had a hankering for a 12 fretter with a slotted headstock, a look back to those Pre-War Martin 12 fretters. I wanted a 000 body with mahogany b/s. I had heard that Larrivee made some nice 12 fretters as part of the Traditional Series at a not crazy price. I had once owned a Larrivee 12 fretter with Maple b/s and enjoyed it but eventually realized I am not a maple guy and sold it to a guy in North Carolina who loves it.
Research indicated a Larrivee 000-50 would fill the bill for me. Mahogany b/s with a 1 13/16" nut, and a slightly larger soundhole to bring out a bit more low end. I found one! It's a 2005. Love the tone! A lot of low end, which is what I was hoping for. The wide nut and string spacing makes finger picking much easier, but strumming sounds great as well. Digging it!

Another Big Time Larrivee Lover & owner...Great, great guitars. I have yet to play a 000...and have been wanting to. And you have the larger sound hole as well. Exactly what I am thinking for a next guitar.
