Title: The beautiful maple leaf special design
Post by: StringPicker6 on March 03, 2026, 09:15:50 PM
I just need to put this out to the Larrivee universe that I think a Larrivee OM with the maple leaf special design is just incredibly beautiful. The three inlaid leaves on the headstock made from three different color woods and the inlaid wood leaves on the fretboard and bridge wings is so warm and classy.  One of their best designs ever, in my humble opinion.  :bowdown:

This is a 2016 L-03 Custom shop Sitka/Flamed Maple, Rosewood binding on the body. It's one of my favorites. :wink:

Picked it up used at Guitar Vista in Albuquerque, NM. several years back.

That is a stunning L body guitar! The rosewood binding and maple b/s is jaw dropping! What a great find.

Incredible!! Is that a moonwood top, or was the guitar just very young in that picture?

I took that picture this morning.
It's sitka, and it's only about 18 months old and it's in the case when I'm not playing it.

That is one sweet looking OM! The top does look a bit palish like moon spruce. :nice guitar:

When I see most Larrivee's in pictures, just like in this thread, I always think to myself "classy." The maple leaves are also classy.
