For sale is a 1998 Larrivee C-09 manufactured in September with a rosewood back and sides, flamed maple binding, and a solid spruce top. It is in exceptional like-new condition and just an overall ridiculous guitar. The craftsmanship of the bindings and the cutaway are simply awe inspiring. The Florentine cutaway is a beautiful option and nearly impossible to find, although Larrivee has started to reissue this model for over $4200. The cutaway comes to a sharp edge and is prone to damage because of its prominence and position on the upper bout of the guitar; it is nearly impossible to find a used cutaway such as this without any damage whatsoever on the cutaway. There is minimal if any fret ware and the clear acrylic pick-gaurd is without any signs of use.
Most importantly, this guitar has a truly magical tone and has opened up very nicely since 1998. The guitar has been meticulously cared for and serviced by guitar solo in San Francisco. I am an amateur luthier and view this guitar as my marquis for the sound quality of the top as well as shear craftsmanship observed in the accents. 1700 plus shipping and insurance.

Hi Sharktooth
I'm a friend of Rufus Stewart's and he knows I'm looking for a C-09 or C-10. this looks like a beauty! would you mind sending a couple more pics if you have them handy? I presume there is no decorative inlay on head, right? lust the Larrivee logo? Is the light circular area on spruce top a defect in finish or just a reflection? can't tell from photo...
