Larrivee LO

[Jerry Knowles]

I'm a beginning guitar builder built a couple of D28 dreads. My ? is I'm a big fan of Jean Larrivees Lo models does the luthier that's teaching me how to build says Jean based this model on a classical that he was building at the time he started making steel string guitars. Does anyone know where I might could find molds and or brace patterns for this Guitar?

at the larrivee factory on line they are in Canada

Thanks Paul have you asked them before? because they don't offer kits or plans on thier site like Martin does.

[FRANK]

no jerry i am sure they have a way to come up with the plans in one way or another if you find one press clay against the braces for patterns

[Len Biglin]

Hi Jerry, yes Jean's guitars do sound nice and he braces differently , mostly has a single tone bar straight across behind the bridge if you get a light source inside the box you may see the braces thru the s/board.Check the unofficial martin site they show lots.Len

Len, Thanks for the light idea don't know why I didn't think of that. Guess I was just hoping some one had a plan already. Did some measuring on an LO model I have and it's real close to the M model Martin the M just has a little narrower waist. I could use that mold and Jeans brace patterns, or just make my own mold.
