That thing sounds ridiculously good! Without hearing it in person, id say this sounds better than my Matin 0-18

Wonderful!!!!

Tried a custom shop OM18 today (actually, two... One Sitka top, other adi). The custom shop models are noticeably better than standard models. Very nice bass punch and mahogany thrum though feel a little more difficult to play than Larrivee. Two different brands with completely different voicings, really.

Which of these do you prefer (Nick, and the player who played them)? 40 series has a nice bass and airiness to the tone. 03 more balanced, less airy, more mid range. I've always preferred the symmetrical bracing when I've had the choice.

Not usually keen on their more scalloped bracing but this sounds good. Guess I'll get to try it in 20 years when it hits UK stores.

You played the Mahogany guitar differently and gave the Rosewood guitar more "air time", you might say. You had a chance to do a good comparison and you blew it by favouring one of the guitars.

Larrivee please stop this! I’m not a fan of Adirondack but this seriously sounds amazing - I shudder to think about this setup in the SD body.

Guitar strings tuned down?

Can you have this girl do a video of all of the 24 series Larrivees you have? Her soft playing style (and the sound setup) would do a better job of showing me what the L or LV-24 sounds like or the D-24-than the most TH-cam videos I see. (I saw the short one you did on the LV-24.)

Moon Spruce, 12-fret, and general Larrivee awesomeness!!!! What's not to love??? I'm not typically a fan of such small instruments, but this sounds amazing.

BOTH have Elixir strings..no doubt.

Would like a fingerstyle shootout next😊

Love the design of these. I'd be particularly interested in the SD-24, but who knows when or if we'll ever get it here in the UK.

Cryin Holy?

Nice /pickingComposition. Is it in any of your tracks :) ?

I played the BG-42 and HD-28 at a store in Toronto recently and had the same impression. Martin sounded recessed and damped. Boucher was alive with punch - guess which one I bought :)

Sweet.thx.spotted a used one gonna have to try it out after this😇

This shows me that it's the top that makes the difference! They sound very similar but with the attributes you'd expect - slightly more bass and treble with dipped mids and more harmonics for rosewood... More woody growl, less bass and treble but more mids in mahogany. As ever, best demos !

I don't know why fine guitarists insist on doing percussicve thumb slaps. It adds nothing to the music, and is just plain annoying.

Hello; i have the same guitar. What type of strings do you use? Greetings from Spain

Unstoppable. Listened to this 40 times In a row. Gonna listen to it 40 more. What a snack!

Nick, hit it out the park on this video. To compress so much information in less than three minutes is incredible. Proud owner here of a OM-03 Moon over Bhilwara. I love it.

You owned it Jake, made it your own. Outstanding!!! Bravo

Where can I purchase a GR-HG-166-T? Also, is it possible to get a torrified curly maple or is flamed maple the only back and sides used for this parlor style of guitar? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Mary

Wow! Both Jason and that Larrivee sound wonderful! 👍🏻✔️🇨🇦

Great tune and playing.

A customer of theirs once told me that Jean phoned him to ask what inlay he wanted on his new guitar. He replied that he wasn't interested in inlay but was told that he had to have it in order to keep Wendy busy so she didn't go out spending money.

Decent guitars, very pretty, but bailers as a business. Here today, gone tomorrow.

I'm after that Rosewood but I'll have to try the Maple before just to be sure.

Wish the edits were cleaner. Song sounds like No New Tales to Tell, but that’s just my ears.

Great playing. And, thanks for letting the guitar do the talking. Nice not to have to wade through the sales pitch.

Really nice.

At 0:50, that’s my young floating head above the buffing wheels, lol. Circa 1995/96…

AMAZING

Both sound like they need some time to break in

Have to say that after your Boucher maple video I came back to this and really like the maple sound, what these builders are doing with it. I love the moon spruce pairing here. Btw not asking for a demo but I see you have an OOO-50. How does the compare (with it's enlarged soundhole and shifted bracing) to a standard 05? As ever, great material...

Also prefer the maple to the rosewood.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Brazillian Rosewood!!

I actually preferred the maple body in this video.

Beautiful

She is to inlay as Jean is to picking out some of the best tonewood. What a team!

In the 70's there was one with an eagle landing on a cactus in Atlanta. Wanted it, very young. long gone.

Love this... Now THIS is a family business

Wow this sounds better on this demo than it does when you compared vs the Bubinga and Rosewood models... I prefer this one, massively. Maybe the previous demo was a 14 fret hog (I checked - it was!). There is a sonic quality to the sound that is impressive

The Artist really made this shine, I want one!!! Bravo!

Really coming to appreciate the Larrivée quality and sound after buying a simple travel T-40 on a whim. I didn’t expect much from a travel guitar, but only after playing it for a few weeks did I realize the intonation on the higher frets is superior to my much more expensive guitar. Also I realized the neck is a one piece dove tail which is surprisingly rare now yet very important for resonance. Not sure how they do it but I’m now in the market for their parlor size too now. Nice video.

I'm counting 14 frets.

Oh yeah, what sounds so low, like it

Yes! Thank you for making short scale a standard feature.

Personally don't care for cutaway acoustics. But that's me. I really can't tell the difference on a blind test. Only playing. So yet again like anything else it's a personal choice.
