I jumped at the chance to try out Larrivee's new 24 Series when this D-24 came up on Reverb back in June. I enjoyed my time with this one, but I need to downsize my guitar collection and have decided to put it back up for sale.
The short scale neck is very comfortable and easy to play. Sound-wise, its deep bass response, loud volume, and the headroom of the Adirondack top stood out most to me. The new radial wood rosette and rosewood body/neck binding are really quite beautiful and unique.
The guitar had some sharp fret ends when I received it, which I filed back, dressed, and polished, so they're smooth and comfortable now. I also made slight adjustments to the nut slots and saddle height, with the action currently a hair above 6/64" low E and 4/64" high E at the 12th fret, with 0.005" neck relief. I played Martin strings on it, but I've freshly restrung it with Larrivee-recommended D'Addario XT 12-53's for this sale.
Overall this D-24 is in near-mint condition. There is one tiny mark near the 5th fret side marker in the rosewood binding, and a few other barely visible marks in the neck binding next to the fret ends from filing (see photos linked below). Otherwise it's in like-new condition. The hardshell case is also in like-new condition. The guitar has never left my smoke-free home in my time owning it.
Asking $1499 which includes continental USA shipping or possibly local pickup in the Dallas area.

I have no affiliation here but this is a really nice guitar for sale. The 24 series dread and L bodied guitars have a 14 fret neck with a 24.5" scale while the other bodies have a 12 fret neck. The combination of the radial wood rosette, pyramid bridge and vine inlay are nice touches. My 24 series 00 just celebrated her first anniversary with me this month.
Good luck with your sale.
Thanks! I like to think I anticipated the short scale 24 Series when I started this thread (https://www.larriveeforum.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=61333u548s1lsaemj96fghhrj3&topic=54470.0) back in 2021.
I'd still like to try an L-24, LV-24, or similar custom at some point.
Yes, I really like the binding and rosettes on these. Lucky to have not run into a lefty one in the wild.
