The Larrivée D-19 Maple (often designated D-19M) is a highly collectible custom or limited-run variant of the iconic 19 series. Combining a traditional dreadnought body with flamed maple back and sides, this instrument produces a surprisingly boomy, punchy bass and crystalline high end, alongside its signature "Flying Eagle" headstock inlay. The 19 Series itself is a highly regarded line that Larrivée reissues for limited runs. While a standard current D-19 series is built primarily with Rosewood, the custom Maple (D-19M) versions—such as highly sought-after 1990s editions—are known for their striking visual flamed grain and unique acoustic voice.
