Larrivée D-40R Rosewood Legacy Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

The Larrivée D-40R Rosewood Legacy Series is a powerhouse dreadnought acoustic that blends premium tonewoods with world-class craftsmanship. Built with an all-solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-40R delivers classic acoustic tone with deep bass, shimmering treble, and rich projection-perfect for strummers, flatpickers, and singer-songwriters alike.

At the heart of the D-40R is Larrivée's revolutionary Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid bracing system, designed to maximize soundboard vibration while maintaining a controlled, focused low-end response. The result is a guitar that's bold and dynamic, yet balanced and articulate across the entire frequency range.

Easy-Playing Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

The Larrivée D-40R is as enjoyable to play as it is to hear. Its mahogany neck joins the body at the 14th fret, giving you excellent upper-fret access for lead lines and intricate playing. The smooth ebony fingerboard feels effortless under your fingers, while a bone nut and compensated bone saddle deliver pro-level sustain and tonal clarity. Elegant diamond fingerboard inlays and an inlaid headstock logo complete the look with refined detail.

Revolutionary Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid Bracing

Unique to the Rosewood Legacy Series, the Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid bracing blends a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with a traditional X-brace. This innovative design strengthens the soundboard while encouraging free resonance, producing a wide-open voice with responsive dynamics and a controlled bass response that never muddies the mix.
