Larrivee DV-03ME Custom 12-String Dreadnought Cutaway Guitar – Molasses Satin | Made in USA

Designed for discerning players who crave vintage warmth and modern clarity, the Larrivee DV-03ME Custom is a handcrafted 12-string dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric guitar made in the USA. Its solid mahogany back and sides paired with a striking solid spruce top in a Molasses satin finish create a tone that’s rich, woody, and exceptionally balanced.

This full-bodied 12-string dreadnought design projects a lush, harmonically complex sound with smooth mids and punchy lows. The cutaway body shape offers unrestricted access to higher frets—perfect for modern players who blend rhythm with lead work. Inside, the parabolic X-bracing delivers structural integrity while maintaining top resonance and response.

The mahogany neck is complemented by an ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge, providing a sleek playing experience and excellent note definition. Appointments like a herringbone rosette, maple body binding, and tortoise pickguard add visual sophistication to the classic tonewood combination.

Outfitted with Stagepro Element electronics, this guitar is stage-ready with responsive, natural-sounding amplification. A hardshell flat top case is included to keep your instrument safe at home or on tour.
