Affordable Luxury Crafted with Care
Top-notch solid wood guitars tend to break the bank, but not the Larrivee L-03R12. This US-made 12-string acoustic guitar features rich rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top and a 1-piece mahogany neck for exceptional tone at an incredible price. The unique L-style body instantly feels familiar but delivers a more comfortable feel and more precise articulation with its blend of dreadnought dimensions and a tapered waist. Plus, with tons of detailed nuance like maple binding and a premium finish, the L-03R12’s craftsmanship calls out even to Sweetwater’s most discerning 12-string players. Value doesn’t have to mean compromise when you choose Larrivee.

Uniquely balanced L-style body
The unique L-style body is an innovative guitar shape developed with Larrivee’s years of hands-on guitar expertise. The L-style blends the comfort and articulation of a smaller concert-style guitar with the reliable heft and projection of a classic dreadnought. Guitarists would be wise to take advantage of this marriage between power and comfort! The L-03R12’s strong tapered waist and classic dimensions make it perfect studio 12-string that sounds big but clear, and its comfortable profile is bound to have a welcoming feel when you take it onstage or to gigs.
Prized tonewoods and artisan appointments
The L-03R12’s tonewoods are rich, articulate, and bold with classic response. Rosewood back and sides give the L-03R12 a bright top end, balanced midrange, exceptional bass. Rosewood’s exceptionally low weight yields an overall comfortable body with a luxury feel that’s larger than life. Balancing rosewood’s depth is a Sitka spruce top that adds definition, punch, and clear fundamentals. The 1-piece mahogany neck has a clean and smooth satin feel for easy fretwork up and down the neck, with a hybrid carve that sits between popular “C” and “D” neck profiles. Plus, the guitar features true maple binding and a durable acrylic urethane finish that feels practically invisible but protects your guitar and highlights the natural wood grain.
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.
