"Travis Cooper has relied on his Larrivee for five or six years. He says, ""I like the traditional base of ideas that Larrivee used for the design of the guitar, but still used Jean's idea for the bracing. The result is a very nicely balanced guitar in my opinion. Not too boomy or bright and a strong midrange. Intonation is great, and I've been pleased with its performance and reliability for live shows and in the studio. And its a beautiful looking guitar as well. Loaded up with a K&K pickup, overall, its been a great instrument."""
