Larrivee SD-40R Legacy Series Acoustic Guitar

Description: Slope-shoulder Dreadnought Power The Larrivee SD-40R pairs the classic slope-shoulder dreadnought formula with stunning rosewood back and sides, then tops it all off with a highly responsive 12-fret neck joint! Along with the sweet-sounding Sitka spruce top, the SD-40R provides a responsive feel and beautiful tone that belies its big size, allowing it to excel with almost any style of playing. As big as it is, this guitar is a joy to play — the mahogany neck is shaped into a middle point between "C" and "D" to fit the needs of any player, while the ebony fingerboard’s flat 16-inch radius is ideal for everything from open strumming to upper-register bends. Finally, this guitar’s elegant maple binding on the top, back, and neck stand as a perfect visual contrast to the dark rosewood back and sides.Responsive 12-fret neck joint While a 14-fret neck joint is standard on most acoustic guitars Sweetwater is an Authorized Larrivee Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Larrivee SD-40R Legacy Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural 6-string Acoustic Guitar with Spruce Top, Rosewood Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard - Natural Slope-shoulder Dreadnought Power The Larrivee SD-40R pairs the classic slope-shoulder dreadnought formula with stunning rosewood back and sides, then tops it all off with a highly responsive 12-fret neck joint!

Finally, this guitar’s elegant maple binding on the top, back, and neck stand as a perfect visual contrast to the dark rosewood back and sides.Responsive 12-fret neck joint While a 14-fret neck joint is standard on most acoustic guitars today, for most of the guitar’s long history, the 12-fret joint was standard. Why would anyone give up two frets for this stubby neck setup? Responsiveness and low end. A 12-fret model requires a larger body, leading to a sound that many Sweetwater guitarists find to be fuller than their 14-fret counterparts, despite the cost of upper-fret access. The SD-40R’s slope-shouldered dreadnought shape is well known for its robust low end, but the addition of a 12-fret neck joint pushes it over the edge, offering a cavernous bass response that’s hard to beat!Time-tested tonewood combo As much as we love the modern guitar world’s exotic timbers, the classic pairing of a spruce top and a rosewood body is the most time-tested tonewood combo there is. Rich sustain, sparkling overtones, a powerful low-end punch — rosewood is truly a do-it-all choice for any musical application, and it shines on the SD-40R. What's more, a Sitka spruce top produces a sweet, responsive tone that’s a perfect complement to the rosewood, allowing this guitar to instantly switch between delicate fingerstyle and brash bluegrass flatpicking.Enchanté Larrivee Founded in 1967 in Canada, Larrivee honed their vision and craft among the Sitka spruce forests of Vancouver. Eventually, the company moved not overseas but to California, where Larrivee still crafts guitars that emphasize fine tonewoods and premium aesthetics at player-friendly prices. Goals like “affordable luxury” and ethically sourced wood are anchored in real-world action like how Larrivee relies on ethically sourced FSC woods. Their passion and appreciation for our forestry's natural beauty let players like you responsibly add pieces of nature to your life in the form of a guitar.Larrivee SD-40R Legacy Series Acoustic Guitar Features: Slope-shouldered 12-fret dreadnought body delivers a massive, boomy tone Lively and resonant Sitka spruce top Rosewood back and sides produce a beautiful and overtone-filled sound, with a deep bass response Sturdy mahogany neck Sleek and smooth ebony fingerboard Easy-playing 16-inch fingerboard radius Gorgeous maple binding around the top, back, and neck Neck profile carved between a “C” and “D” shape to fit the needs of any player SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape SD-40R Round Shoulder Dreadnought Back & Sides Wood Rosewood Top Wood Sitka Spruce Finish Satin Color Natural Body Bracing Scalloped Hybrid X-bracing Binding Maple Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape C/D Radius 16" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Diamonds Number of Frets 18 Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Compensated Bone Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Larrivee Open Gear Strings D'Addario, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
