There seems to be very few actual 'pro' fingerstyle guitarist that play Larrivee so nice to find this guy.

Are there any others apart from Justin King and Shaun Hopper?
I forgot to mention Denis Turbide!!
Sorry Denis - I really enjoy your stuff :bowdown:
Former world champion fingerpicker Richard Smith plays an LV-10 although he played a different guitar ( a Stonbridge) when I saw him awhile back. He told me that he has been playing Larrivees for years and won the fingerpicking title with the LV-10.
John Standefer has won Winfield two different times and he's a Larrivee endorsee (although they have his name misspelled on the artist list on the Larrivee site).
Also, if you just click on the 'Artist' section of the Larrivee site, you'll see that several winners of big Fingerstyle competitions are playing Larrivee:
Shane Adkins
2005 International Fingerstyle Guitar Champion
John Standefor (Soloist, National Fingerstyle winner 2002)
Richard Smith (Soloist, National Fingerstyle winner 2001)
Peter Huttlinger (Soloist, National Fingerstyle winner 2000)
So, if these are winners, I have to believe there were some non-winner 'pro' fingerstylists also playing Larrys.
Just found another player - Adam Cord.
We should perhaps continue this and get a thread full of Larrivee guitars on video?
This isn't fingerstyle but Old Crow Medicine Show does play Larrivees and the seem to hold their own in an Old Timey Band.

Just been looking at your website - you definately qualify as a Larrivee artist :bowdown:
Have a good Xmas across the pond in Florida.
I have 6 pieces up on YouTube, all from a House Concert in Santa Rosa, CA that was happening the same weekend as the '09 Healdsburg Guitar Festival.
Here's my YouTube account link if anyone is interested in seeing/hearing a PV-09 played:

A lot of good guitar players play Larrivées. However, I stopped caring if any of them were famous, a long time ago.
Sorry Larry - hope I did not offend you by not mentioning your name at the top of the thread :blush:

Why, not at all...I fly under the radar of a lot of folks, as I'm not a flashy player, so to speak...and that's the way it is!
The latest edition of the excellent "Fretboard Journal" has a feature on British singer/songwriter/guitarist, Michael Chapman, who has for years championed Fylde Guitars. His current main instrument is a cutaway L Larrivée!
Wow Larry - looks pretty flashy to me tho - may I ask what electrics you are using on that sweet PV ? :donut :donut

Thanks WPete...
I am a dedicated Highlander IP-1 user, for internal electronics. No need for a second source, and the IP-1 provides a rich, full and complex sound...having been a retailer for many years, and as a musician with access to everything out there, I find the Highlander is the absolute best solution for my live/plugged-in sound. I always use a high quality reverb and front-end pre-amp - typically it's the Dr. Scientist Reverberator (a 24 bit foot-pedal reverb...superior to anything I have heard, portable, and with the right sound for acoustic guitar) and the Highlander PAMDI as the pre. I also use the Bose T1 from time to time...but the Dr. Scientist reverb and the Highlander PAMDI are the superior sound.
Some of you might know this guy..he's kinda famous. :) This is probably the only time Maton would let him play a Larrivee on camera! Love the new song!

David Martin plays the Larrivees rather well... - 12th Fret's "audio samplist"

You can add another well-known player to the Larrivee player list. Over at the Leftyfrets forum Elliot Easton of the Cars has just joined and is showing pics of many of his lefty guitars. One of them is a Larrivee P-09 which he says he likes very much. I asked him if he had any other Larrivees and he posted pics of his SD-50 and his OM-60.
His collection of left handed guitars is just amazing. Martins, Gibsons, Larrivee, and of course, a ton of electrics.
Tommy occasionally plays a Larrivee...

Pretty cool...what guitar is he playing here???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bdy5e01bxU&feature=fvw
Is that a 00? The headstock looks like Larrivee...
Tuffy, when my brother worked @ Sam Ash on 48th in NYC, Elliot would come in frequently, asking for my bro. He bought so many left-handed guitars it's not funny, not just to play, but to collect also. Guess he liked my brothers easy approach to selling & knowledge? He is a professional guitarist & majored in classical. Also studied with Linc Chamberlin before he passed. Had some cool stories about who would come in, but being a Cars fan, I liked the Elliot Easton ones. Great guitarist.
And is that kid the new B. Cockburn? No. New kid on the block that sings like a girl? Yes!!

'The joke around the leftyfrets forum is that sooner or later every left handed player will own a guitar formerly owned by Elliot Easton.
Here's another 'new to me' Larrivee player - Luciano Pizzolante:

Singer/ Songwriter John Gorka played Larrivee guitars for several years. In fact he is holding one on one of his album covers. However, when I saw him in concert earlier this year he played a road worn Martin OM for the whole night.
Somehow we missed one of our own. Juni Fisher (Cowgirlie on the forum) is a dedicated Larrivee player and she has won numerous awards. most recently the Western Music Association Female performer of the year (2009) and Best Album of the year "Gone For Colorado". :cheers

Not only is Juni a Larrivee player, she is part of the small and highly select circle of 00-50 players.

Now that's the way a guitar is played. It's good to see someone using the 'classical' position.

Jon Michaels plays Larrivees. http://www.jonmichaelsmusic.com/index.php
He shows up regularly on the Christina Cooks show that is a healthfood cooking show on PBS. He is pretty good. Dunno about the tofu casseroles Christina makes . . . :whistling:

In the early days, Bryan Adams' band used Larrivee electrics. At the end of this video you can clearly see a Larrivee bass (I had one just like it). I'm not sure if Keith Scott is playing a Larrivee as well:

That was an L-10, I believe. He also played a Larrivee 12 string. The only time I saw that was on Austin City Limits in the early 1990's.
I've seen John Hiatt play Larrivees, 6 and 12 string.

I would equate Justin Beber more like the next Paul Anka in terms of how popular he is with the teeny boppers. Not in talent, mind you, just in how he gets the same reaction as Anka did (screaming girls).

Here is a video of Meiko - a female singer/songwriter who was featured on Taylor's Hotel Café Tour. In this video she is playing what I think to be a D-09.
