used Larrivee SD-50 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Guitar

Experience the distinctive Larrivée voice in a slope-shoulder dreadnought that invites expressive playing from the first chord to the last strum. This used Larrivee SD-50 combines a bright, articulate top end with a warm, musical midrange, delivering a versatile tonal palette that shines in studio sessions, live sets, and intimate performances alike.

Built for dynamic players, the instrument pairs a solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. The spruce drives clarity, sparkle, and dynamic range, while the mahogany adds warmth and complexity to the overall voice. The slope shoulder design subtly narrows the upper bout, giving you comfortable access to higher frets without sacrificing the powerful low-to-mid projection you expect from a dreadnought. The result is a guitar that responds with immediacy to light fingerpicking and grows with aggressive strumming or bold leads.
