The D-40Z is a revolutionary guitar from Larrivee. This model born from years of research and testing features Jean Larrivee’s first new bracing pattern in over 46 years. The “Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid” bracing system perfectly merges the strength, tonal balance, and clarity of Larrivee bracing, with the bass response, depth, and volume you’d expect from a vintage dreadnaught.Made only in America, the D-40 comes standard with an exceptional feature set compared to similar style instruments from other manufacturers.
