Larrivee DV-03ME Custom 12-String Dreadnought Cutaway Guitar – Molasses

The cutaway body of this Larrivee DV-03ME settles comfortably against you, eliminating fatigue during extended sessions while the responsive dreadnought design delivers commanding, full-bodied 12-string resonance that fills a room with shimmering harmonic complexity. The molasses finish reveals premium tonewoods beneath, singing with remarkable clarity and sustain—articulate and bell-like in character across fingerstyle, folk, indie, and studio recording applications. The smooth neck encourages fluid chord work and intricate picking patterns, while the 12-string configuration creates an instantly lush, cathedral-like chorus that rewards both delicate sensitivity and confident attack.

In Your Hands

The cutaway dreadnought design keeps the body close and accessible through long gigs and practice marathons without losing the full resonance serious 12-string players demand. The buttery-smooth neck profile lets you navigate both intricate fingerstyle passages and hard rhythmic strumming with equal command and confidence.

On Stage & in the Room

The 12-string configuration produces a naturally lush, orchestral chorus from the opening strum, while the premium tonewoods deliver punchy, articulate fundamentals paired with ethereal sustain. The result cuts through live mixes, translates beautifully to tape, and sounds equally compelling in daily sessions—simultaneously bright and warm across the board.
