"Don't play one unless you're looking to part with money burning a hole in your pocket because it'll likely ignite your purchasing gene".
To coincide with the massive amount of press coverage Larrivée Guitars recently received via Commander Chris Hadfield's amazing "Space Oddity" video - recorded on board the International Space Station with a Larrivée Parlour Guitar - Acoustic magazine this month review the Larrivée P-05 Parlour.
"What is outstanding about this petite form is its incredible sweetness and, within it, pulsing sustain. It is thoroughly seductive the longer you are sat with it. It is a fingerpicking extrordinaire. Individual notes have a superb clarity and are well defined with arpeggiated phrases but also with distinction".
"The smaller length fretboard makes for a wieldy and close proximity playing experience and the intimacy of this makes the playability less fatiguing when playing for long periods of time".
"...this is a loveable instrument that will grow with you and inspire your development even more than the guitar continues to do so".
"A highly desirable and thoroughly personable instrument made with wood quality you may expect to normally pay higher premiums for".
The full review can be found in the latest issue of Acoustic magazine (Issue 80, Summer 2013) on sale now. The Larrivée P-05 is also available now at £1299 RRP inc vat.
