Guitar of the Day – Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut…

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

And some times you don’t. But in the case of our Guitar of the Day, me thinks you are going to REALLY, REALLY feel like a nut, Walnut to be exact.

The Larrivee SD03 Walnut is one of only twelve built.

Walnut makes a great tone wood for a guitar. It’s dense like Maple but it’s usually more stable and Walnut grows slower so the grain will be tighter and the sound richer than Maple.

Neck – Joint Dovetail
Bracing – Modified Symmetrical Bracing
Fretboard & Bridge – Ebony
