LARRIVÉE AND TOMMY HISTORY – 20 Years ago in 2000, Jean Larrivée and Tommy Emmanuel met. Both were intrigued by each other’s works and that’s when Jean went home and started to work on a custom C-10 guitar with Tommy in mind. Featuring a 12 fret neck and custom “Angel” headstock inlay by Wendy Larrivée, the C-10 was presented to Tommy and has since found its way into the studio and on most albums since. It has been known to come out for live performances from time to time which is an honour as Tommy primarily uses Maton guitars live. Another great family-owned guitar company.
