Description
Dating to May 20 2004, this is a Larrivee LV-05E Mahogany Select Series Venetian Cutaway steel string acoustic in good, clean condition pairing a Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back and neck, and Ebony for the bridge and fingerboard.
This Larrivee LV-05E Mahogany was built in Oxnard, California, dated to March 29 2004, and is in good condition with light wear to the frets and finish. It plays well, and has the warm, evenly balanced sound Larrivee is known for.

Construction and Materials
The Larrivee LV-05E name breaks down to a description of the guitar: It has an 'L' or Larrivee body, derived from the classical guitars Jean Larrivee learned to build from Edgar Monch, a Venetian cutaway, 05 Select Mahogany series, and Electric with an installed pickup.
For the 05 Select Series, the top is Sitka Spruce, with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks, linings and neck. The bridge and ivoroid bound fingerboard are Ebony, and the body binding is Maple. At the headstock, the Larrivee logo is Mother of Pearl and the border is silver. The rosette has a center ring of Abalone. The pickguard is a faux-tortoise teardrop shape.
Hardware includes a set of Larrivee branded tuners with black buttons, and bone nut and saddle.
This model includes a factory stock B-Band pickup and pre-amp set and power is provided by a standard 9v battery behind the side-mounted controls. The output jack is at the tail block. B-Band as a company folded around 2014.
The finish is a clear, UV-cured polyester and is in good condition with a few bumps from normal use.
Here’s the builder on the Select Series:
“The 05 Select Series is our complete mahogany line, packed with versatility and detail. These beautiful instruments offer a more balanced tone, with softer lows, stronger mids, and unpronounced highs. If you’re looking for strong, punchy attack, a mahogany top might be the custom option you are looking for. Standard features on the 05 series include 18:1 tuners, maple body binding, abalone rosette, and elegant silver headstock border.”
