Well, I'm selling my beloved D-03 to fund my next guitar purchase. It's the only way I could get wife approval. :UND>
It is a excellent guitar that I used to lead worship at my church. It has very richly colored mahogany and a beautiful golden spruce top. It has a Fishman piezo pickup with no controls since I didn't want a big hole in the side of my guitar. I ran it through an Baggs Para DI and it worked great.
I had the clear pickguard removed since I don't use picks and play mostly fingerstyle. There isn't a singe pick mark on it. It also has a brand new TUSQ saddle.
It has a small ding near the neck that was there when I bought it new (photo below). There is also a mark in the finish on edge of the lower bout. It's on the back of the guitar. I couldn't get it to show in a photo.
This guitar kicked every Martin in the showroom when I bought it new. You won't be disappointed.

If I hadn't already bought my present D-03 this past January, I would have been extremely interested in your D-03 at such a LOW price!! I lead out in P&W also at 2-3 churches, so the Larrivee D-03 works perfect with a Fishman pickup in those settings. I also use my Martin for P&W.
That is some gorgeous mahogany on the back there! I also like that polished neck (from use?). I wish you the best in your sale. What guitar are you getting to replace it with, if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks.
Jeff
Thanks Fstpicker.
The neck was gloss from the factory. Larrivee used to buff their -03 necks. It has been a great guitar, but I bought a Taylor 714ce last Fall, so the Larrivee doesn't see much action anymore. I wanted to learn to play electric guitar, so I started looking at the Taylor T5 a few months ago. It will be a little more versatile for me to use for worship leading than a regular electric. I actually ordered a T5 today, which is why I posted this for sale now. I need to recover some of the cost.
Nice guitar! I am saving up for a Rosewood dread. Good luck on selling her.
Shipping is now included in the price.
Patience aschroeder, there'll be a buyer coming along real soon now...

I hope so. I'd like to avoid ebay if possible.
Bump for a great guitar at a great price...
Last bump. I'll be putting it on ebay next week.
This is a really good price! If you're not under immediate monetary constraints, you might consider posting this in a few weeks after the tax rush cools off and tax returns start rolling in... just a thought. But good on your sale!
I'd buy this guitar in a heart beat!
But then my wife would beat me.
I just bought a new Martin this week.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Someone should get smart and pick this up!
Stan
I'll take it. Email sent.
Tarpman, I hope you get this guitar! The D-03 is a workhorse with satin gloves!
Have not heard back from you yet. Another email sent.
Tarpman,
Looks like you've got it unless a PM or email from another buyer beat you to the punch! Be patient about a response...it's a busy holiday weekend.

Tarpman-
I just emailed you back. I was away visiting family for Easter.
Unfortunately someone from the acoustic guitar forum contacted me on Thursday but won't have the money for a couple weeks. I asked for immediate payment to give him a chance, but the guitar is likely yours. Hope to finalize the details with you tomorrow or Monday.
I am very glad you sold this great guitar, but I vote for Tarpman!! ^_^
I'm just kidding, aschroeder! Of course, we all like Tarpman around here!
D-03's are great! Whoever gets this guitar will be a happy camper.

SOLD to Tarpman. As I assumed, the other buyer doesn't have the money right now. So, Tarpman will be the proud new owner of my D-03. She will be dearly missed. :EM>

And as a bonus, a 2" crack in the fret-board.
Hot potato here?
Have you had good conversation with the seller about the crack?
>>Have you had good conversation with the seller about the crack?<<
I sent him pictures of the crack and asked him to reimburse me for the cost of the repair. He apologized for forgetting to mention the crack and advised me to mix up some super glue and charcoil to use as a filler.
Is that a good conversation?
You should return the guitar and receive back your money if you are truly unhappy with it. I'm sure that the seller will want to make things right. Either that or negotiate a lower price and let him send you $xxx to make it right.
But by all means remain civil, if at all possible. Good luck!
