Tommy Emmanuel is the inspiration behind the C-03R-TE. Designed by Emmanuel with Jean Larrivée, the C-03R-TE is a tribute to the custom C-10, sharing much of its DNA yet costing half the price, and with enough to distinguish it as its own acoustic. And right out the case, it is very distinguished. The construction is flawless. There's solid Sitka spruce on the top, solid Indian rosewood on the back and sides. Its neck is mahogany, topped with a maple-bound ebony fingerboard that joins the body at the 12th fret. There's a generous Florentine cutaway. With maple binding and minimal detailing on the herringbone rosette, restraint is the order of the day here. A set of Larrivée tuners, a bone nut, an ebony bridge with bone saddle, and a tortoiseshell 'guard completes the picture.
The maple-bound fretboard is immaculately finished. The sheer depth of the Florentine cutaway guarantees that all 17 frets are going to be readily accessible here. This being a Tommy Emmanuel guitar gives you the impression that anything is possible. It might not endow you with Emmanuel's hybrid-picking skills, or his note choice, but the setup out of the case is killer and will provide many hours of pleasure.
This is an acoustic that caters for all styles.
