NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Hi There,
Does Larrivee still make this model? I don't see it listed on their website. Are you in Canada or US - are the $ US or CDN?
Thanks a lot.
Joe

To be honest. I don't know if Larrivee will make an LSV-05 as a special order, but 12th Fret quoted me a price awhile back so I think that means they will. I think the LSV-11's are Larrivee's main focus now.
I am in the US (US$).
I have not played the LSV-11 but I think they have increased the nut size to 1 13/16" and of course it has rosewood back and sides. The 05 has a 1/3/4"nut with mahogany B&S.
The dimesnions are as follows:
* 15" lower bout
* 11" upper bout
* 9 3/4" waist
* 4" depth (4 1/4" depth at end pin)
Okay, here are a few pics:

The flakey/spots of white are pollen type stuff from my trees.... really!
Must... stop... watching. :SHK>
Good luck with your sale!
I guess there is always room for a 2nd LSV-05 ;) (but then my family and girlfriend would probably shoot me), and a D-28, and a OMV03R, hahaha. Too many good instruments I want.
Buy it FOR your girlfriend... :GRN>...I'm sure you won't shoot you then!!!
man- that looks soooooooooo sweet!
:mellow: J.
Price Adjustment... $1150 $1100 including shipping to CONUS.
Trades will be considered for the next 24 hours or so... I have to make payment on another guitar or cancel the order... I would consider an LV-05, 09 or maybe even a C-05... if there is on out there. Lowdens and Avalons a possibilities too, but a cut away is required.
What a stunning guitar! I'm looking for a parlor, but this makes me want to reconsider, despite the higher price. Any idea how the sound of this compares to the LV-05 or the OM-05 (or even the mahogany parlor)? Good luck with the sale!
I have owned an OMV-05 and an L-03K... The LSV-05 is closer to the OMV than the L-body both in size and sound. In fact, I think this LSV has more projection than the OMV I had. But my OMV had a cedar top and this has a sitka spruce top which might account for the difference. All I can say is this a cool little guitar any way you play it...
Here is what the Twelfth fret's website has to say about the LS body style from Larrivee:
"The LS 's smaller body is very comfortable to hold, produces excellent balance and a surprisingly full overall tonality along with the signature Larrivee clarity and complex overtone series. I would have to say this would be one of my picks for my desert island guitar collection!"
I hope this helps.
Considering trades...
PM sent...possible trade for LV09E:

Hard to believe no one's jumped on this one yet. I had one before and miss it often. Truly on of Larrivee's best models. Good luck with the sale/trade.
PM sent...again - have not given up!
PM back at you LawDog...
Would you consider a new L-05 (serial number 84,xxx) as a trade?

I'd rather have an LV-05.... Guvnor
:<> Aaaggghhh...this is killing me. Make it go away. I have this guitar's wonderful big sister (brother?) - L-05, but would love to try the slightly smaller body, and what a pretty cutaway. Unfortunately, neither finances (nor husband) are currently in the proper state for this one :TON>

Maybe you need to send hubby out of state for awhile... :WNK>
Perhaps it is the rum talking(I am currently on Grand Bahama ) but I'll take $1025 plus shipping... when I get back she goes in for trade...
Be back on Sunday mon!!
Bahama BUMP! :mellow:
I'd take it if I didn't already have one. I'd hate to see this one go.
