Anyone know? I'm not super familiar with Larrivee guitars, but heard this video and all of a sudden became a big fan!

Best I can tell its either an LS or a parlour.

[ST]

14 frets to the body, so I think that rules out a parlour.

Based on the shape - maybe an L.

It looks a little small to be an L so maybe an LS (or that guy playing it is big)

Agreed, can't be a parlor...  14 fret neck join.

Why does everyone spell it parlour when even Larrivee spells it parlor?

Appreciate the responses. Based on some searching around plus your help it does appear it's likely an LS model. Were these made in small numbers? Doesn't seem like there are many floating around.

    The original English spelling is PARLOUR.
           The USA version is PARLOR.

I don't know. My excuse is being Canadian and we have to use a lot of extra u's. Colour, neighbour, favourite etc. However, if you're wondering about that, why do you spell it Larrivee when the Larrivée family spells it with an accent? Does it really matter?

I'd agree with it being an LS model, something about the curve of the upper bout seems familiar. These are rare models as they never seemed to have been a regular factory offering but as an occasional offering or special order. I happen to have two for sale if interested,  a LSV-03 Spruce/Mahogony and LS-03 Spruce/Silver Oak, both even rarer 12 frets models, one an even rarer short scale.

They're both fine guitars but stay in the case as neither really fit my ear being so spoiled on my OO models.

Here's the LSV-03 with it's little brother OOV-03

To be honest, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if you bought a Larrivee after watching that vid. That recording does the instrument no justice.

Ok.  Just seems a little pretentious, except for the Canadians in our midst.

I've seen Elephant Revival live and it is not a parlor.  It is an L body.  Not sure if LS or regular L.  He's a real tall fellow.

What's the difference in body size between an L and LS? It seems like an L is essentially a 0000 size, but can't find much info out there about the LS due to their low production numbers.

Here's a site with some Larrivee body specs

If you search for the forum III guitar you will find much about the LS.

Thank you!

Ducktrapper spells Parlour that way because he is Canadian.
Jean Larrivee, a Canadian, spells Parlor that way because he makes them, and he can.
We could ask him why he spells it that way, to sort this all out.
Here in New Zealand, where I was born and live, we also spell Parlour that way.
Both Canada and New Zealand are still attached constitutionally, one way or other, to Mother England, and no doubt we were taught at school to spell Parlour that way.
By the way, I love my Larrivee Parlour/Parlor.
"A Rose is still a Rose by any other name".......... and so is a Larrivee Parlour/Parlor.

Ha. Pretentious to spell it "our" of pretentious to ask why?
