If you ever wanted a boutique Larrivee, complete with a cedar top (and at a great price), then look no further!
Take an L05, add a Mastergrade/figured cedar top, florentine cutaway, subtle blue purfling, highly flamed maple binding, and a quilted maple endcap. Then, make the construction all by hand by a master luthier, add the top-of-the-line electronics, and forward shift the hand carved bracing. Finally, know that the top is hand tuned for optimal performance. Miscellaneous: hand-carved bone nut/saddle, signed label, custom gunmetal gotoh tuners, blue paua rosette, abalone headstock logo, all gloss.
If you like how that sounds, then you can have it in your hands. The senstivity, overtones, and general luxury exceed Larrivee. This particular model has a lot of volume with an open and airy tone quality and endless sustain. Great for open tunings and solo singer/songwriter type stuff. Action is spot on with no buzzing. Takes fingerstyle like a dream, but can handle medium strumming superbly. 9.9+ condition!
Today, retail with pickup runs $4399.
$1999 - shipped and paypal included. Larrivee hardshell case and extra signed label by David Iannone.

I owned a CCM with mahogany/ englemann and it was a gorgeous guitar. Amazing woods, build quality and playability. Wish I could afford this one, but I highly recommend it to someone in the market for a fantastic guitar.
Sigh. . . . if only it was a non-cutaway :blush: :nice guitar: All the best for your sale.

Thanks, Tad. Yes, it is a pretty one, and it sounds even better. Sustain and sensitivity to the light touch are unreal.
Bump - some very serious interest, but no one stepping up just yet.
Thanks!
I'm going to bump this because I remember alot of posts from people wishing they could get a cedar topped Larrivee - and here is a guitar that is every bit as good, if not probably better. It should have sold a while ago - but again, the economy is the trouble, I'll wager. I'd be bargaining for this if I could justify another guitar, but I'm still trying to sell a couple - Any trade interest??
I think the header should be edited to highlight the cedar top on this beauty -
Tad
Thanks, Tad. Email sent!
Still here, still the best deal out there for those of you who always wanted a cedar-topped Larrivee.
Weekend bump before ebay.
