Larrivee C-03 Tommy Emmanuel Signature Series Acoustic

<h4>Larrivee C-03 Tommy Emmanuel Signature Series Acoustic</h4> <p>Designed by Emmanuel with Jean Larriv&eacute;e, the C-03R-TE is a tribute to the custom C-10, sharing much of its DNA yet costing half the price, and with enough to distinguish it as its own acoustic. And right out the case, it is very distinguished.</p> <aside class="hawk-nest hawk-processed" data-render-type="fte" data-skip="dealsy" data-widget-type="seasonal" data-widget-id="1184533745525480400" data-feat-ref="hawk-id-1" data-result="missing"></aside> <p>The construction is flawless. There's solid Sitka spruce on the top, solid Indian rosewood on the back and sides. Its neck is mahogany, topped with a maple-bound ebony fingerboard that joins the body at the 12th fret with a generous Florentine cutaway.</p> <p>With maple binding and minimal detailing on the herringbone rosette, restraint is the order of the day here. That extends to the onboard electronics. There are none &ndash; after all, stage-ready electronics and the indigenous tonewoods are one of the big attractions for Emmanuel's Maton guitars, and this is his studio guitar.&nbsp;</p> <p>A set of Larriv&eacute;e tuners, a bone nut, an ebony bridge with bone saddle, and a tortoiseshell 'guard completes the picture. In time, the C-03R-TE is only going to sound better as it is worn in. Who can we recommend it to? Tommy Emmanuel fans will of course be interested. But this is really a signature model that'll adapt to whoever picks it up, and that's what great instruments do; they help the artist find their voice.</p> <h4>Specifications:</h4> <ul class="specs left"> <li> <h5>Wood</h5> <ul class="specs left"> <li>Back &amp; Sides: Indian Rosewood</li> <li>Top: Sitka Spruce</li> <li>Neck: Mahogany</li> <li>Headplate:&nbsp;Ebony</li> <li>Fingerboard:&nbsp;Ebony</li> <li>Bridge:&nbsp;Ebony</li> </ul> <h5>Hardware</h5> <ul class="specs left"> <li>Tuners:Larrivee</li> <li>Saddle: Bone</li> <li>Nut: Bone</li> <li>Bridge Pins: Black with White Dots</li> <li>Case: Flat Top Hard Shell</li> </ul> <h5>Measurements</h5> <ul class="specs left"> <li>Scale Length:&nbsp;25.5" &bull; 12 Fret Neck</li> <li>Upper Bout: 11.625"</li> <li>Waist: 10.25"</li> <li>Lower Bout: 16"</li> <li>Body Depth: 4.75"</li> <li>Nut Width: 1-3/4"</li> <li>Saddle Spacing:&nbsp;2-14"</li> </ul> <ul class="specs right"> <li>25.5" &bull; 12 Fret Neck</li> </ul> <h5>Details</h5> <ul class="specs left"> <li>Finish:&nbsp;Satin</li> <li>Bracing Pattern: X-Brace</li> <li>Neck Joins Body: 12th Fret</li> <li>Rosette: Herringbone</li> <li>Top Purfling: Multi-Strip</li> <li>Body Binding: Maple</li> <li>Heel Cap: Maple</li> <li>Fingerboard Binding: Maple</li> <li>Bridge Style: Standard</li> <li>Pick Guard: Tortoise</li> </ul> <h5>Inlay</h5> <ul class="specs left"> <li>Headstock: Inlaid Logo</li> <li>Fingerboard: Inlaid Dots</li> <li>Bridge: N/A</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
