Was messin' aboot in the guitar shop a few weeks ago and my buddy insisted I try out a Larrivee acoustic. Instantly fell in love, and I've never been much of an acoustic guy, this is the first acoustic I've ever felt comfortable playing, and the tone was very full. I've forgotten which model it was but it retailed for $1700. Has been itching away at the back of my mind since and I'm at the point where I've started browsing Craigslist for lightly used Larrivees. Found a D-03 (sitka spruce top, mahogany sides / back) in great condition nearby for $750, out here they retail for $1500. Stopping at the guitar shop on the way home from work today to test run a brand new one before I set up a time to try out the used one.
Larivee D-03 - Craigslist Posting
Anybody here have experience with Larrivee acoustics? From what I've seen online thus far the fans are very devoted and outspoken regarding Larrivee's tone and build quality. I'm pretty excited and will probably scoop it on impulse before the week is over, so if there are any naysayers please stop me quickly.
