Specifications

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield made history when he played his Larrivée mahogany Parlor inside the International Space Station (ISS) for a video to help NASA figure out more ways to make life in space better and more bearable. The video was a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity", and in it you can see Chris' parlor guitar floating around inside the ISS, and eventually played by Chris right before the instrumental section. Thankfully, this guitar is not just for space-noids, because Larrivee has made this guitar available for us surface dwellers.

As expected, this video got the world a buzz with life in space, and with the small bodied guitar that Hadfield brought with him to space. Larrivée themselves confirmed that the demand for their instruments sky rocketed after the video made the rounds in social media and the news. And many specifically wanted to have their own Larrivee parlor guitar, the same one that Chris Hadfield used.

The neck is crafted from mahogany, while the fingerboard, bridge and headplate are made from ebony. It has a short scale length of 24"and a nut width of 1.75", and the neck joins the body at the 12th fret, following traditional parlor guitar builds.

Other features include X bracing, multi-strip rosette, ivoroid fingerboard binding and heelcap, bone nut and compensated saddle, 16:1 ratio chrome tuners and composite bridge pins.
