Yeah, got my D-09 from Dave..It is nice.the top differs from my old L05 in that the grain on the L-05 was wide the D-09 has a tight grain with much cross silking. Chocolate collored rosewood with the top haveing a dark amber color. She has some buzz on a string but we will work that out. The sound is tight now as I play and put her down for a bit then pick her up again she sounds more open.I do like the sound better then the L05 I had and it was a great sound but this d-09 is huskier, darker, richer...mmm rosewood dread!
The nut width is right for me, this I can tell right away.
Not sure that I love the elixers but we shall see.
Another fine Guitar Adoption purchase!
Sounds like a great guitar! So the nut width that you like better is the smaller 1 11/16"? Looking forward to your pics.
Yes it seems to me that the wider width is just enough of a stretch to bother me, my fingers are not that long, i've been back and forth with too many guitars and I do know two things, I like a 1 11/16 nut width and I like rosewood.
I love my rosewood D. Also another fan of the Larrivée 1 11/16 neck. Something about the shape or profile just makes it more comfortable and commodious than the other 1 11/16ths I've tried.
Sweet deal - congrats!

Man this is a dark, deep, lady..
Rosewood..yeh.
Oh...rosewood is so soothing and wonderful to listen to.
Everytime mahogany tempts me, the sultry voice of rosewood brings me back to the love of that deep dark reverb.
plus, the smell is great. They should make a rosewood cologne! haha
Oh yes the the sweet smell of acoustic guitar hole. It should be a perfume for sure.
Every time I get a whiff of rosewood, it takes me back to the first time I opened the box on MY rosewood dread. Sweet!
Congrats on the nice guitar. :D
smell...sold my taylor cedar/rosewood a few months back....i now have a larrivee spruce/rosewood....oh how i miss that smell of cedar.
Yeah my cedar topped Takamine (EAN40C) had a much better smell them my cedar topped Seagull (S12+). But my D-60 tops them all. Follwed closly by my Walnut parlor and Koa L.
I had a Borgeois vintage om with adi top for a few months when I was rich and it was the best guitar smell I ever had, this D-09 is nice too, unique to itself.
Nothing like a Dread. B)
How'd we get to smell?
Oh, well, my cypress/spruce flamenco smells nice and spicy.
My Larrivée D-03R is sweet, but none of them top my
Keith Adams cedar/rosewood classical for fragrance.
Almost makes me hungry!
