Overview

An acoustic guitar with rich tone and elegant craftsmanship.

The Larrivee L-40R Legacy acoustic guitar brings together classic design and modern craftsmanship for players who want a responsive, expressive instrument. Built with Indian rosewood back and sides and a spruce top, this guitar produces a clear, balanced sound with strong projection and rich overtones. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer a smooth, comfortable feel for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. Satin finish and bold rope purfling add visual detail, while the scalloped hybrid bracing supports dynamic playing. For musicians who need a reliable acoustic for recording or live performance, this model delivers consistent tone and easy playability across the entire fretboard.

Scalloped Hybrid Bracing Shapes Dynamic Response

The scalloped hybrid bracing inside the body supports the top while allowing it to vibrate freely. This design increases resonance and helps the guitar respond quickly to changes in attack. Players can expect a lively, open sound with clear highs and a strong bass foundation. The bracing also keeps the top stable, so the instrument maintains its tone over time. This feature benefits those who want a guitar that reacts to subtle changes in technique and volume.

Indian Rosewood and Spruce Create Balanced Tone

Indian rosewood back and sides pair with a spruce top to produce a full, balanced voice. Rosewood adds warmth and depth, while spruce brings clarity and focus to each note. The combination works well for players who need both strong projection and detailed articulation. This wood selection supports expressive playing, making it easier to shape phrases and highlight individual notes in a mix.

Ebony Fingerboard and Bridge Improve Playability

The ebony fingerboard and bridge offer a smooth surface for fretting and picking. Ebony resists wear and keeps the action consistent, even after years of use. The 1-3/4" nut width and 2-1/4" saddle spacing give fingers room for complex chords and fast runs. Open-back tuners with an 18:1 ratio make tuning precise and stable. These details help players focus on technique without fighting the instrument.

Satin Finish and Maple Binding Increase Durability

Satin finish protects the wood while letting it breathe, so the guitar ages well and keeps its tone. Maple binding and heel cap reinforce the edges and add a clean look. The dual-action truss rod allows for easy neck adjustments, and the hardshell flat top case keeps the instrument safe during transport. Every part is chosen for long-term reliability, so the guitar stands up to regular use and travel.

Player Experience With the Larrivee L-40R Legacy Acoustic Guitar

Musicians who value clear tone and responsive feel will appreciate this acoustic model. The bracing and wood selection support expressive playing, while the neck and fingerboard make technical passages easier. Consistent tuning and durable construction mean the guitar performs well in studio sessions and live shows.
