Description
This 1999 Larrivee Pete Anderson Signature is an OM-sized flat-top is designed as an homage to a Depression-era Harmony, yet sound and play like a top-line Larrivee built in the old Larrivee workshop in Vancouver, Canada.
The Larrivee Pete Anderson Signature is modeled after Pete’s ’30s Harmony archtop. Instead of binding, she has a painted white pinstripe, fake tiger-stripe wood grain, and a two-color sunburst. I told them I wanted a flat-top that looked like that, and they nailed it.”
This Larrivee Pete Anderson Signature has a 12-fret neck and solid-wood construction: a Sitka Spruce top, Canadian flamed Maple back and sides, a one-piece Honduras mahogany neck, Ebony fretboard and bridge; large, 50s-style pearl fretboard markers; and a matte, tobacco sunburst finish. Other features include a 650mm 25 1/2″ scale and Anderson’s preferred tall, narrow frets. The guitar comes equipped with the Baggs Ribbon Transducer System — an active saddle pickup and preamp combo. At Anderson’s request, Larrivee substituted a white decal logo for their traditional Pearl inlay.
This guitar represents awesome workmanship of master Jean’s meticulous workmanship, select AAAA graded woods, and special scalloped X bracing pattern that are hallmarks of more traditional Larrivee guitars. Very unusual, and very cool! This guitar is highly responsive with a surprising amount of low end. The Sitka Spruce top with satin finish makes the guitar sound beautiful, even when played with a lighter touch or bare fingers. With a Maple back and sides and a great overall warm and balanced tone, this guitar will record like a dream with a classic clear Maple sound! She comes standard with a Baggs ribbon transducer pickup system, and the original Larrivee branded hardshell case. She plays like butter with low action and still lots of bone at the bridge to compensate neck movement over time. Thus, her condition is excellent. The original hardshell case is also included.
