**SOLD**
One of 50 Koa Larrivees made in 2004 from a Larrivee loa stash that was forgotten about for many years (at least that's the story I heard). Excellent+ to near mint condition. I purchased this guitar used. It had not been played much at all (virtually no fret wear) but the frets needed reseating, edge rounding and some minor leveling work, which I had done. At the same time, I had my repairman install a fully compensated bone saddle (the original comes with the guitar). It has a K&K Pure Mini pickup properly installed. The hard shell case is not arched. This is not the loudest OM guitar I've played but it is one of the most balanced I've ever come across in terms of amplitude, tone and sustain. Incredibly balanced. It is quite linear with changing dynamics and requested sustain. Sitka top. Vancouver, BC build. 1.75" nut width, 1.55" string spacing at nut, 2.25" string spacing at bridge, 25.6" scale length (650mm) measured between the 4th and 3rd strings. Action is medium low for fingerstyle. An excellent guitar for gigging, recording or simply playing. $1,100 including insured shipping to lower 48 states and Paypal fee. Sorry, no trades.

You're welcome. It's a wonderful instrument. As we discussed on the phone, try several sets of different strings over the next year or so to find what works best for your playing technique and musical styles. Also, during that time, you can learn how to work with this particular instrument. For me, at least, it usually takes me some time for me to learn how to play a quality instrument to its potential.
