4  ONE LEFT Johnson L-style solid spruce top -  the ultimate beater/travel guitar?  these are brand new - just expect Chinese made quality; think Blueridge/Carolina type quality;   1.75 nut, short scale,   I have two of these available  [ONLY ONE REMAINING] with red sunburst (look like an old Gibson L-00; slightly smaller than a 00 size),  they are surprisingly nice and make an exceptional knockaround player with a cool vintage vibe about 'em.  The story on these is if you change the bridge pins, the strings, and sometimes the saddle they become VERY nice little parlor size guitars.  Want to experiment with soundhole size (I think they need enlarging)?  want to experiment with brace shaving?  want a cool camping/travel guitar?  These are perfect!   NO case included    $125 and you change the strings; $130 and I include some John Pearse PB lights

Is the Johnson L-Style the solid top model or the laminate?

The Johnson is as described above a solid spruce top.  It is sort of what makes it such a special deal.  The backs and sides are mahogany laminate.

I have replied to all emails to date.  Feel free to ask any further questions!  Thanks..

The sale on the LS-09W is no longer PENDING; I'm here to tell you it's COMPLETE!  Remarkable, rare guitar made at what I think is the high point of Larrivee's quality to date.  Thanks, Frank.

This guitar may replace some, most, or all of my other Larrivees, particularly the spruce top Forum guitar I committed to buying from JasonA right before this LS came on the market.  Just too much of a good thang for this po' boy to justify.  Hmmm...

Good move, buddy.  This was a steal and should be a keeper. Great value for a high quality guitar.  Wish I'd have seen it earlier myself.

I received my Larrivee OM-03R today here in the cold Northwest.  It's a beautiful guitar, just as you described it.  Thanks Frank, I will really enjoy my first Larrivee.  Since its too cold to play golf this weekend, I will get lots of playing time on my new guitar. :smile:

The photos are done with a Canon D-30 DSLR on an antique swing on a porch, thats all...

I am going to be ordering a Brook guitar, either a Creedy or the one just bigger.  English, handmade, and 'spensive
