…Two things that were made to go together. Tommy Emmanuel is a pre-eminent acoustic guitar player, and one of my favorites. Larrivée is a top, boutique custom guitar maker producing some of the best acoustic guitars on the market and, again, one of my favorites. The new Larrivée Tommy Emmanuel C-03R-TE Custom model acoustic guitar is the perfect match. It’s like peanut butter and jelly.
Tommy Emmanuel is known as a Maton guitar guy. He has famously played them for years, both on stage and in the studio. But recently, when we interviewed him and asked him what he would buy if he had to buy something other than a Maton, he answered,
“Larrivée guitars I love very much. I love the Larrivée family as people, anyway.”
20 years ago, in fact, Larrivée made a custom C-10 12 Fret neck guitar for Tommy. It’s been part of Tommy’s arsenal over the years, showing up on the stage and in the studio.
So perhaps it’s no surprise that Larrivée has finally cemented the history and magic of this collaborative relationship by releasing the new Tommy Emmanuel C-03R-TE Custom .
Key features included with this new model are the Florentine cutaway, 12 fret neck joint, Sitka Spruce over East Indian Rosewood, and hand signed signature label.
