The most recent Larrivee newsletter arrived in my e-mail inbox late yesterday. The company is rolling out the 01 Premier Series in mahogany or rosewood with four body styles (parlor, OM, D and LV). The pricing would make this series a good choice for a first guitar or as a second back-up guitar. I don't know how Larrivee does it.
The also offer selected bridge pins at a 20% discount with a free set of strings at the Pro Shop. I bought two sets of pins for two of my Larrivees the last time they were on sale.
Absolutely fantastic idea bringing back the 01 series! I was surprised that they are still doing the maple binding on the fretboard on these 01 series.
I saw the email this AM in my inbox. I have always loved very simple acoustic guitars (though for some reason I don't mind flashy electric guitars) and these look great. Hopefully they will bring some new Larrivee players into the fold.
