Larrivee SD-60 Traditional Series Acoustic Electric 6 String Guitar 2009 - Natural Gloss W/ Case
Serial: 107563
The Traditional Series boasts some of the finest acoustic guitars that Larrivee has to offer, and the SD-60 is no exception to that rule! Designed to replicate the feel and look of instruments from the golden age of acoustic guitar building, the SD-60 features Larrivee’s unique 12-fret slope-shoulder dreadnought body shape — ideal for pickers who require rich, booming bass and the utmost response from their instruments. The resonant Sitka spruce top is paired with Larrivee’s highest grade of rosewood for the back and sides, providing an overtone-laden highs, scooped mids, and formidable low-end power. On the neck side, the SD-60 features a comfortable mahogany "C"/"D" neck profile and a sleek ebony fingerboard for effortless playability. Finally, the SD-60’s high-end cosmetics are true to the “Traditional” name, sporting a hand-carved volute, a high gloss finish, a slot headstock, maple binding, herringbone trim, and casted bronze open-back tuners for old-school style and elegance.
Responsive 12-fret neck joint
While a 14-fret neck joint is standard on most acoustic guitars today, for most of the guitar’s long history, the 12-fret joint was standard. Why would anyone give up two frets for this stubby neck setup? Responsiveness and low end. A 12-fret model requires a larger body, leading to a sound that many Sweetwater guitarists find to be fuller than their 14-fret counterparts, despite the cost of upper-fret access. The SD-60’s slope-shouldered dreadnought shape is well known for its robust low end, but the addition of a 12-fret neck joint pushes it over the edge, offering a cavernous bass response that’s hard to beat!
Time-tested tonewood combo
As much as we love the modern guitar world’s exotic timbers, the classic pairing of a spruce top and a rosewood body is the most time-tested tonewood combo there is. Rich sustain, sparkling overtones, a powerful low-end punch — rosewood is truly a do-it-all choice for any musical application, and it shines on the SD-60. What's more, a Sitka spruce top produces a sweet, responsive tone that’s a perfect complement to the rosewood, allowing this guitar to instantly switch between delicate fingerstyle and brash bluegrass flatpicking.
Enchanté Larrivee
Founded in 1967 in Canada, Larrivee honed their vision and craft among the Sitka spruce forests of Vancouver. Eventually, the company moved not overseas but to California, where Larrivee still crafts guitars that emphasize fine tonewoods and premium aesthetics at player-friendly prices. Goals like “affordable luxury” and ethically sourced wood are anchored in real-world action like how Larrivee relies on ethically sourced FSC woods. Their passion and appreciation for our forestry's natural beauty let players like you responsibly add pieces of nature to your life in the form of a guitar.
