I hate to do this...but I must put up my treasure! I bought this in Canada and have taken very good care of her. It is a very well played classical....and I can't even begin to describe the tones. WOW.. I also have a LS 30 (a new one....but it does not compare tone wise to this). I have tried to sell the LS 30...but folks do not seem too interested in it. I am playing out a bit more...and feel this Hand signed classical is just too valuable to be out in public as much as I have been playing.
The finish is in very good shape, except where the finish has worn through from playing. There are no cracks in the top or side or back. The only wood damage is in the area where the previous owner rested his sweaty arms. The kneck is great and I just ran through the acoustic guitar magazine article on proper set up for classicals...and this matches almost exactly all the measurements that were suggested.
I know I should keep this one for ever....and will no doubt kick myself for doing it. It is my favorite guitar with tones that just ring and ring.
It comes with an ok semi-rigid case (not a new larrivee arch-top) but it is old (maybe the original) and a arch-top type with pinkish felt. I will add photos to the web site is a couple of days.
I keep all my guitars at 47% humidity, and have 100% feedback as photomat on ebay as well. I would love to get $2,000 for it...but need to sell so it is priced at $1750 plus shipping. Serious buyers only please, and you can email me and I can give you my phone# as well.

This is an unbelievable post!
Someone has to grab this astounding guitar at an incredible price. I have a Larrivee classical from 1978 and JCL makes the most fantastic sounding classical that can be imagined. The look, the size, the rosette, the finest quality rosewood to make the mellow lows melt your ears....
This is a steal :POL> for someone.... there are classicals out there at twice this price that don't sound half as good. My OH My...
I want this guitar soooooo bad, arrrrrrrrrrrg :<>
I have this 1975 for sale, but I also have my new 2005 LS-30 up on ebay. I need to sell one of them. Here is the link to my ebay auction:

This older one has the best tone for sure!....
Follow the link in my first post to see other photos of both
