Ok, after all that has transpired with my sd-50TSB issues, Larrivee built and sent me an SD-50, I just received it yesterday, its beatiful and flawless, and believ me, I checked it closely.  This is teh 1 7/8" neck slope dread, I think this is unusual, but not sure.  It is a herringbone rosette, which was a welcome surprise, it matches the herringbone binding perfectly and is much classier than abolone--I think.
Anyway, I am just not going to get used to the 12 fret neck--all that I went through and its not going to work for me.  if your looking for a heck of deal on a perfect SD-50, here it is, complete with the warranty card and unpacked case candy.  Ity also has beatifully figured mohogany.  You can have it for $1450, now thats a steal!  I would consider trades too.  mainly looking for a dread but would consider others too.
Thanks and please e-mail if interested
