Larrivee Quality
Larrivee guitars are one of the few that are still built with the dovetail neck joint.
Larrivee Islander series guitars are handmade in the pacific northwest, where acoustic guitars should be made. The temperature and humidity there is perfect for building high-end acoustic guitars.

This Guitar is highly recommended in the bang for the buck category. The specifications were to build a top quality, no holds barred, fully professional instrument that was to be sold to the working musician at a somewhat affordable price. If you cannot afford this fine instrument, Ed Roman also recommends the Koa Kahuna from Tacoma. The Koa Kahuna is also a fine guitar with a terrific tone, but with a few less appointments in a non-cutaway dreadnought. The Islander series guitar Tops are all master grade Sitka Spruce, hand-selected from the very finest Larrivee has to offer. If you're concerned with tone, beauty, and excellent action, look no further than the Larrivee Islander. |
