Jean Larrivée Guitars Ltd. is a Canadian company that manufactures acoustic guitars. Founded in 1967 by Jean Larrivée, the company moved from Toronto, Ontario to Victoria, British Columbia in 1977, and to Vancouver in 1982. A second plant opened in California in September 2001. ==History== Jean Larrivée began a guitar building apprenticeship with Edgar Monch Sr. in Toronto, Canada and built his first two Larrivée style guitars. The first Larrivée Guitars were based on European classical Guitar designs and became part of the Larrivée Family Collection. The company was founded in Toronto, Ontario in 1967 and moved to Victoria, British Columbia in 1977, and to Vancouver in 1982. In September 2001, Larrivée opened a second plant in California. However in November 2013 Larrivée announced that it would be consolidating its Canadian division and closing its Vancouver Factory. In 1971 Larrivee began adding inlay designs to their guitars and in 1977 inlays became a standard for their guitars. Beginning in 1978 their inlay designs took on a more romantic style. Since 1979 all engravings were designed by Wendy Larrivee except for a 1998 inlay called the "Joker". In 2007 Larrivée began using laser engraving for their inlays. Chris Hadfield performed a cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity on a Larrivée Parlor guitar while in orbit on the International Space Station.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Larrivée (guitar company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
