For sale, $4000 USD ono, this immaculate 1995 Larrivee C-09 with a stunning spruce top and gorgeous walnut back and sides. This plays like a dream, and sounds like it too. Love the white tiger headstock inlay
It was owned by a collector before me. And it is in immaculate condition. John Jnr himself mentioned how he loves this period of guitars.
An undersaddle pickup was installed at one point but is no longer there. So a pickup could be easily installed if you want.
Offering it to the Forum first to see if any takers. I can't justify holding o to this any longer so seeing if any interest. I'm in New Zealand but can have it sent across to US.
Open to offers. Let me know if you have any questions.
Michael

What is the guitar serial number?

Is this New Zealand dollars, or whatever it converts to depending on what country the buyer is in?

Quote from: Michael Howard on January 05, 2025, 04:46:14 PMLet me know if you have any questions.
Can you verify there are no marker dots for fret position on the fretboard? Can you supply photos of the marker dots on the side of the fretboard (visible to the player)?

1. Please provide a closeup photo of the saddle such that we can see kinda guess how high it is above the bridge.
2. Please provide the height of the BRIDGE in it's middle, between the G and D string.
Mike
Please supply a photo of the Larrivee label inside the guitar.

Please supply a closeup photo of the back of the headstock showing the tuners. Need to know what they are. And if it is possible they have been replaced, based on what we already know about original tuners.

We know John. John is a friend of the group.
In case you haven't figured it out, I am trying to help you get to 10 posts, after which you can send PM's to members.
I haven't yet figured out if you can be trusted, however that is not my call.

Hi Mike, I understand. I bought a whole lot of gear just before Christmas, he shipped it to me here in Auckland. Feel free to ask him a question privately about the order or what we talked about over email and I'll be able to confirm it once you know what it is. Essentially it will be something only I'll know. I'm happy to jump on a FaceTime or Zoom as well once you're satisfied.

There are dots on the fret board binding but not the fret board itself. I'll post a photo of that and the label below.

They are still original. Look the similar as my D-03 from 2005

I'm trying to find an accurate ruler as I don't have callipers or a decent ruler. I did have a guitar tech check it once and he was happy. And that is without the under saddle pick up in there, which would have raised the saddle a bit. Just trying to figure out how to add photos...

I'm confident it's 1-3/4. Again, similar to my D-03

Michael,
Thanks for all the answers.
If there were an award for patience and helpfulness, you would get it.
Good luck.

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate the questions too.
Would anyone be interested if I could get this on consignment somewhere in the US? If so, where would be best? I could even get this to NYC in Early Feb for a private sale.
**edit**
I give you permission to give me advice, and if I act on it, the risk is all mine.

Hi All, this guitar is no longer for sale. It's too nice to let go. Thanks for your interest.

You have made an excellent decision.

Good choice, Michael. That is a really special guitar and I'm happy that you decided to keep it.
Hi all, circumstances have changed, I am now selling this, through a local dealer in New Zealand. A very favourable exchange rate for anyone in the US, Canada, UK.
You could even have a holiday down here and pick it up at the same time :)
Any questions feel free to talk to Ed or Nick at Studio 1.

Michael
Still available if anyone interested. Happy to answer questions, or as in above, contact the dealer. They have shipped internationally before so not an issue. Studio-1 is no doubt the best independent guitar shop in New Zealand.
I was intending to sell this because we needed to be financially responsible for a period earlier this year but we're out of that now and am no longer selling.
Following the forum VII also gave me a bit of fomo. Plus the fact I've owned a Larrivee for 20'years and I couldn't face not having one.
Sorry, not sorry for the flip flop.
I'm glad you are keeping it, Michael. Did you sign on for the forum VII build?
I am too. Not this time. Tempting but I wasn't really in a position to buy, especially being in NZ. Love to one day. I do have my eye on an LSV though, biding my time.
