Saw this post on another guitar forum. Have you ever seen a sunburst D-03 like this one? Here's a picture of it off of Ebay:

That is a beautiful Larrivee. The top looks amazing and I like that the back and sides are unpainted.
Rare indeed.

It went for a low price...considering sunburts finishes cost around $600, then about $500-$600 for a used D-03...I would have expected it would go for maybe $200-$300 more.  Instead it just went for a little more than what a used D-03 usually goes for.

Sweet purchase you got there, Nathan! We all are looking forward to your post after you get it. And you must include pictures for us "droolers"!

Welcome to the Larrivee Guitar Forum. I'm glad you found us, and that we have the honor of getting acquainted with its new owner. I didn't expect that!

Came in the mail Saturday... upon first pluck I wasn't exactly impressed, but that's because it needed new strings.  I put D'Addario phosphor bronze lights on it and NOW she sings.

I also bought some mediums, which I'll put on when these die.

I'll take some pictures and upload some clips when I have some time just for fun.

Glad you got it safe and sound. I hope the sound grows on you as you experiment with different strings, etc.
