A beautifully kept example from Larrivée’s golden era, this 2005 D‑05 A/E brings together everything players love about the 05 Series: warm, balanced mahogany tone, clean boutique craftsmanship, and a mature, opened‑up voice that only two decades of aging can deliver. This one came from a family collection, cared for its whole life, and arrives as a complete package — tasteful clear scratch guard, original case candy, Larrivée booklet, capo, picks, strap, and a solid hardshell case. Fresh setup, polished frets, conditioned board, and new strings make it feel like a guitar that’s been waiting for the right player to pick it up and start writing.
