This is new to me in every respect. Never knew a C28 existed but according to the serial number and according to Brian at Larrivee, this is a C28. I reckon should be a C28 "Deluxe" as it has all the appointments similar to my L10 Deluxe, but go figure?
Anyway, I am looking to sell now. Don't want a Larrivee with holes in her for strap pins and pickup end pins. And this gorgeous guitar is not quite the box that my L10 Deluxe is, so I am staying with the L10. The seahorse must swim away....
Sorry folks... she's *****SOLD*****

Hi all--
I'm new here, but just wanted to give a plug for buying from Sordello. I recently took delivery of his '78 L-09, and he's a fine chap to deal with. Also, don't be afraid of shipping from down under to the states; I had the guitar in my hands 5 days after he shipped it (to the east coast)!
Thanks Sordello, and good luck trading/selling this beauty!

Not to be pedantic, but the inlay actually represents a hippocampus... :POL>
Thanks Ben. Much obliged, and I hope the L09 is giving you great joy!!
Thanks also mazareth. Now that I know how to spell hippocampus, I can get the description right.
By the way, I always thought 'hippocampus' was the name of this guy: :ph34r:

Do you mind if I ask how much shipping was? I had called Fedex about one of his previous sales, and they quoted me around $450, I'm not far from Boston.
No problem. I can ship a 10kg guitar box from Oz to the US for $170 AUD ($127 US$) plus anywhere from $15 to $30 insurance depending on the value of the guitar of course.
I wish you had told me that when I mentioned the Fedex quote. :huh:
Hmm.. not sure if you're referring to the L09 pigtown? I recall you mentioned a FedEx quote, but I thought I replied that there was $100 shipping charges covered in the cost of the guitar, so the FedEx quote didn't apply. And I think we were talking about the L09 which was already committed to someone when we were talking about it. My apologies if I misunderstood what you were trying to get at. I know it is about $450 to FedEx FROM Canada to Oz, but that's an outrageous price to pay for the service delivered. In a world of free market forces it costs much less to ship a guitar.
Actually - this is a Hippocampus:

And this is a Hippocampus on drugs:

Looks like everyone is hanging on to their Beneteaus and Lowdens, so i will move this on over to "FS" status.
.....oh, and 'BUMP'....
Bump for the seahorse...
