Product Detail
This is the 18th of only 30 special edition guitars. The 40 Series features an innovative 'Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid' bracing system. Based on the reliable 'X - Brace' design, it has a non - symmetrical scalloped lateral cross - bracing pattern, using less material for maximum strength. This design allows more vibration of the soundboard and a well - controlled bass response. Built in America with all solid wood, it comes with new upgrades like bone bridge pins, nut, and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots, and 18:1 open back tuners. It offers a fresh sound appealing to both traditional and long - time Larrivée players. Specifications include mahogany back and sides, Austrian Red Spruce top, mahogany neck, ebony headplate, fingerboard, and bridge. Hardware features open back 18:1 tuners, bone saddle, nut, and bridge pins. It has a hardshell flattop case. Measurements are provided for scale length, bouts, waist, body depth, nut width, and saddle spacing. Details include a satin finish, scalloped hybrid bracing pattern, bold rope rosette and top purfling, maple bindings, and a tortoise pick guard. The Stagepro Element is a side - mounted preamp/EQ with battery access and a hidden chromatic tuner. Its three - band EQ with phase inversion and Garrett Null notch filter controls deliver warm, clear sound. The system includes the Element pickup and pre - wired strapjack. PLU: D40MHD0A00099
Using your Larrivee D - 40 Custom Mahogany Special Edition guitar is easy. First, take it out of the hardshell case carefully. When tuning, use the 18:1 open back tuners. You can access the chromatic tuner on the Stagepro Element preamp/EQ for accurate tuning. When playing on stage, adjust the three - band EQ on the Stagepro Element to get the best sound according to the environment. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after each use to keep the satin finish looking good. Check the bone bridge pins, nut, and saddle regularly for any signs of wear. Don't expose the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as it can damage the solid wood construction. Also, make sure to replace the battery in the Stagepro Element when it runs out to keep the preamp working properly.
