That is one thoroughbred of a guitar!

Very nice DreadsRCool, congrats!
Is D-70 a Larrivee designation?

oh don you're just "horsing" around.
And yeah All4Him, according to Brian T. @ Larrivee that in 94 they made a combined 380 D-50-60 & 70's...I've heard it called Model 70 and D-70. I've only seen another D-70 and had rosewood sides w/the same "stallion" inlay in the headstock. Maybe Matthew can shed some light on the D-70 if he reads this?
beautiful...I am part of the 383 or so with original D 50/60/70's, and just love them.
Funny story...years after I had my D 60, I was in an acoustic store and picked up a guitar with a plain Jane headstock.
Wow...what a sound, and it so reminded me of my D 60.
As I went to put it back on the rack...I looked into the soundhole.
Yep, you guessed it...D 50.

I used to have a D-60 :( (94 from the cali facility) I sold it to pay for my D-10. Though I love the sound of a D-10 better, the D-60 had such a sweet, sweet sound and I plan to get one in the future...Scott liked your web site. And it was nice to find out more info on the 383 or so D-50-60&70's.

thanx for the kind words David.
Nothing quite like a Larrivee for my steel string tastes.
What a blast to know that out of the 383 or so, that 3 o us are in this forum.
The web...gotta love it...wonder how many of us can be accounted for???

Hey there! I don't have a ton of info on the subject, however, my dad owns a D-70e with the stallion inlay, and f the d-50, 60, and 70, the stallion is about the rarest, of which only 60 were produced. That is about all I have so far, I will try to find out more :)
The Larrivee D series was an early stab at the 'Bluegrass' market which Martin has always dominated. The are dreads with a large soundhole. Obviously they weren't a big success at the time.
