Nothing on the guitar, I just bills to pay. :crying:
Original owner, bought with a small ding that was filled and sealed by the factory - nothing at all to write home about, but in the interest of full disclosure.
Has Lollar Imperials. The top would be a "10 top" if PRS. I chose this over a PRS for its superior looks and tone. Action is great, sound is phenomenal.

Michael $1600 shipped is a steal - if I didn't have one already I would be all over it. The Tone is amazing the feel is sooooooo nice. Someone is going to be very happy, The hardware alone on this thing is worth $1600!!! :nice guitar:
:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
WOW I'm not an electric guy but that is
AMAZING!!!!!
Sorry you have to let her go... :crying:
Best of luck with the sale!
Blue
I'm SO GLAD this beauty isn't left-handed...I'd be second guessing my decision to get a Root Beer one...
Good luck with the sale - someone is gonna love this :nice guitar:
Thanks for the kind words - it sounds even better than the fine looks. The top just has to bee seen in person.
Pure $ex! :nice guitar:
What a beautiful instrument. The Larrivee RS4's are exceptional guitars. It must be a hard decision to let this one go. :nice guitar:
Taking 1550...lots of bang for the humbucker buck.
Bump for best offer.
Still available?
Yep - michael.jewell23@gmail.com
Still around - thanks! :thumbsup
1475 - that's about as low as it gets.
Including taxes, I paid almost exactly twice as much, if that helps any doubious buyers.
:nice guitar:
is the guitar still available? new or used? where are you located??
Sent you an email. Plz respond to it soon!
Yes - still available - though LOTS of recent interest.

They sell for 2400 CAN now. I called a Larrivee dealer yesterday so this is definitely a good deal. Courtesy bump. (I would buy it but I prefer to buy one with the larrivee pups)

REALLY??? I mean, the Larrivee pups are handwound and sound great, but Lollars are easily the industry standard! :cheers Thanks for the bump and kind words!

Circumstances allowed me to get both RS4's and I luv both PUPS neither would be a deal-breaker over another IMHO. Now that Amber Burst here is alarming that would be a dealbreaker it's just soooooo perrrdy. Someone will be very lucky with this axe!!!!!! :nice guitar:
Perhaps it should be stated that Lollar Imperial pickups are outstanding. Highest quality. Jason Lollar is a giant in his field. Larrivée did not switch to their own proprietory pup because there was anything wrong with the Lollars. It was mainly a business and personal decision on the part of Matthew and Jean Larrivée, I believe. They learned a lot about pups when they first made electrics back in the 80's. They've learned from experience that proprietory parts, if possible, are better for business. Keeping it in the family just makes sense. My amber RS-4 with Lollar Imperials is ... totally outstanding!

I hear you but you buy a Gibson to get that Gibson sound or you buy a Fender Strat to get that fender sound. So I want to buy a Larrivee to get a Larrivee sound. I love that amber top. Very close to 1959 Peter Green LP that Gary Moore play with.

Although that was true at one time, I don't believe it's true anymore. If you want vintage Fender sound in an amplifier, for instance, you may find it elsewhere these days. If you want Gibson on the headstock, you buy Gibson. If you want Fender, that's what you get. If you simply want a fantastic guitar for less, you may want to look at a Larrivée. And if you're saying that a Lollar equiped RS-4 doesn't have "that Larrivée sound", however, I'm scratching my head, my friend.

I'll see after xmas. I am going back home for the holidays. I might consider buying yours if you are willing to ship to Canada and if it's still available.
Yes, will ship to Canada. Yes, still available. Yes, and insane number of interested parties, but no buyer yet.
The Lollars rock. Like nobody's business.

Symtex,
I suspect if you bought it, and sent Matthew Larrivee the serial number (and he does watch these threads from time to time), he would send you a set of the Larrivee pickups. He might charge you something for them, but I think he'd make it worth your while. Or, maybe you could send it back to Larrivee and have THEM install their pups in it for you. I don't know if they would do that, but it would certainly be great customer service (which is great advertising), and I'd think they would want to have as many people as possible hear THEIR pups in your guitar as hear the Lollars - again, just good advertising.
Something to think about, as you GAS...
I agree with Rev on this suggestion. It's any easy switch for a tech.
Can you contact me regarding your guitar? I'm interested. mike.martin.445@gmail.com
SOLD! Thanks, Greg!
Yep - coming to Canada. This is for my 18 year old son - interesting that this is the electric he wants - being 18 and all! Maybe it is because when I want to play my D-03 I've got to go find him and then I find my guitar. It is his hard earned money - I remember wanting a motorbike when I was 18. He has been playing a 1970's Ibanez so this is a big step forward for him - and the guitar stays in the forum family. Thanks Michael! Greg
So Greg did you get it yet? how does your boy like it. Isn't it something else? Is he going to register on The Forum? Michael hope you soon get another as you must be feelin the loss from your stable!!! It's a real Beauty!!!!!!
Joyce: Still waiting for it - maybe the end of this week or early next week? You never really know coming from the US to Canada through the postal systems - sometimes it is quick and other times.... We (Stephen) will post feedback and all that good stuff when we've had it a bit. Can't wait.... kind of like a delayed Christmas present. Greg
Hopefully sooner than later! She's a keeper, Greg. Hope you both enjoy.

I too am excited for you both!! It's an amazing guitar that is still under the radar for electric players, I'm certain it will break out mainstream, its just too nice not too.
