Saw this post on another guitar forum. Have you ever seen a sunburst D-03 like this one? Here's a picture of it off of Ebay:

That is a beautiful Larrivee. The top looks amazing and I like that the back and sides are unpainted.
Rare indeed.
It went for a low price...considering sunburts finishes cost around $600, then about $500-$600 for a used D-03...I would have expected it would go for maybe $200-$300 more. Instead it just went for a little more than what a used D-03 usually goes for.
Howdy, I'm the buyer of the sunburst larrivee, as you can tell by my new name. ha. Just registered here...tis a small world.
Well it's going to be shipped on Wednesday, so I should get it within the next week for sure. I'll keep yall posted as to how it plays & sounds!

Hey, we're all waiting with, and for you in this!
Keep us informed!
Jeff
Just tracked it and they've apparently changed the estimated delivery date to July 8.
NOOOO
they're teasing you.....
Came in the mail Saturday... upon first pluck I wasn't exactly impressed, but that's because it needed new strings. I put D'Addario phosphor bronze lights on it and NOW she sings.
I also bought some mediums, which I'll put on when these die.
I'll take some pictures and upload some clips when I have some time just for fun.
:GRN>
Glad you got it safe and sound. I hope the sound grows on you as you experiment with different strings, etc.
Jeff
ENJOY that D03!! I sure have enjoyed mine. :GRN> Teddeo1000
