at GC. Appears to have an aftermarket mod unless Larrivee does this upon request. Kind of like an Avian cutaway.

Weird.
Not something that I'd care for. To each their own I suppose.
Looks like it has a port cut into the waist.
Very strange... at least two mods. wonder if there are more?
That's a lot of work that could have been avoided with a cutaway.
Looks like retrofit... along with what looks like a port on the side.
I've had guitars I'd have no problem modding... but not a Larrivee. But, once it's yours, you can do with it what you want....

Funny thing... a few (or several) years ago, a guitar turned up on eBay (or some other site)... a McCollum (Lance McCollum, a west coast builder) that some fellow had "fixed" a scratched top by coating the whole top with epoxy resin. It was a total kluge... what the he## was the guy thinking type thing... but I have no doubts he thought he was doing the right thing.
I was torn between "what the heck dude" and well, it's his. He can do to it what he wants. I agree... Not Me, but at the same time, It's Not Mine.

So, this fine unique instrument appears to be at the Pasadena Guitar center.
We must have a member in the LA basin who can go over and take a look.
Could have been done to work around a nasty bit of damage. I can't really see the point in building it that way. Odd but OK.
not a larrivee. jcl neck however
I guess I'll be the contrarian butthead that actually likes it. It looks well done, the guy even kept the binding on the top cutout which probably wasn't easy.
I guess some of you guys don't play with a capo up high. Sometimes you just really need to hit a few notes up there without the body in the way. Of course if you want a cutaway, you buy one, but maybe that's just what the guy did after selling this one?
:donut2 :coffee :donut
Edit: Oops, wrong, no binding . . .
I guess I fail to see the point.
