Here's a picture of my Larrivée Classical with Florentine Cutaway. I could not find a picture of it anywhere so I finally dug out a camera so I could share this with you.

Hi Roger, Mr_LV19E,
The Classical is c. 1980-82. The Jumbo is 1994. Sorry you can't see it through the flash flare, but the Jumbo has a Seahorse inlay.

And to all: Thanks for the warm welcome.
Gorgeous guitars...I had a '77 classical for a few months (non-cut). It was a great sounding guitar, piano-like.
Awesome couple! I especially love the jumbo! :nice guitar: x 2
Welcome here, ST! Lovely guitars! :thumb I wasn't aware Larrivée was making classical cutaways back then.
And I'm not sure I should thank you on the donuts. I'm trying to quit! :arrow
Took some more photos tonight.

"It looks like the guitar is from the early 80's as you expected, probably '81 or '82.
Jean had a small shop setup at this point but he was very involved with every aspect of the build."

Things have not changed much, the Oxnard facility is pretty good size. Both Matthew and Jean are involved.
