This is a very rare Larrivee model - now only available by special order through the Larrivee Custom Shop. The guitar is in pristine condition - I cannot find a mark on it - no scratches or dents. The guitar has never needed repairs. I am the original owner and purchased this guitar a little over a year ago. This particular guitar was built in Vancover, B.C. Canada - right before Larrivee moved their high-end production to California. Serial #22756.
The Larrivee Small body (designated by the 'LS' in the model name) was designed in early 1991 to meet the needs of guitar players who wanted a guitar that wasn't quite as large as the 'L' body, yet still provided the same great sound and scale length.

This guitar also has an undersaddle pickup that was professionally installed. The pickup is an EMG Ampjack AJ125 - which has a built in preamp. There are no holes in the side of the guitar - only an endpin jack which houses the preamp. For details on the pickup see: http://www.emgpickups.com/displayproducts....3&catalogid=65# (http://www.emgpickups.com/displayproducts.asp?section=Acoustic&categoryid=3&catalogid=65#)
The guitar also comes with the original Larrivee Hardshell case - which is also in excellent condition.
I play only fingerstyle - so there are no pick marks on the guitar. The frets are in excellent condition - with very low action. This guitar has excellent balance for a fingerstylist - not too boomy - very even across highs, mids and lows. I baby all of my guitars - it has always been stored in its case when not being played and it has always been properly humidified.
Check out the reviews on the Larrivee LS-09 which is basically the same guitar - without all the fancy inlay of the LS-10. http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data...e/LS-09-01.html (http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data4/Larrivee/LS-09-01.html)
