Hi All, just putting "feelers" out to see if there is any interest. I am the only owner of my JV-05, serial # 68xxx. Was told by Larrivee a few years back that this guitar was completed in April of '04, making it an early USA model (label says "Made in the USA" as well). The guitar is in great condition. Bone nut and saddle installed when I first bought the guitar, tortise pickguard, 1 3/4" nut width and all the specs of the 05 series. Nice straight-grain Spruce and the Mahogany back, neck, and sides are most beautiful. Currently set up with Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze light gauge strings. The hard case is in good shape as well. Just some minor scratches from taking it in and out of the car. The guitar has spent most of its time in my house, with the occasional gig, and is always humidified during fall and winter months. The LR Baggs Lyric was professionally installed a few months ago and sounds wonderful through an acoustic amp as well as direct into a PA system. Very little "fiddling" necessary. My aging hands are beginning to have a hard time with the nut width, hence the "feelers". I am happy to answer any and all questions.
Thanks for looking...
You must to list an asking price to list your guitar in the "for sale" section.
When you add the price, please include some pics!

Price for the guitar is $1300, which includes the case and LR Baggs Lyric (installed). Below are some photos...After looking again, the actual serial number is 62, xxx. The serial number is covered by the "battery bagg" on the neck block, so I was going from memory. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Are you interested in any trades, or just a cash deal? I have a lefty D-03 with Italian Spruce top and herringbone rosette - it has a 1 11/16" nut which might be more friendly to your hands. This was from a special run of 03's with IS tops that were also made in Oxnard/USA.
It has some slight bear claw in the lower bout on top, and one small ding in the lower bout. Otherwise excellent. Also has a Fishman pup with soundhole V & T controls. Label signed by Jean Larrivee (see pic below).
