**SOLD** Stunning LARRIVEE L-10 QMC 2002 NAMM Show Guitar! See Pics.

[Rabid1]

A financial situation as arisen that forces me to sell my most prized possession: The stunning 2001 Larrivee L-10 QMC, custom made expressly for the 2002 NAMM Show! Really, the pictures say it all, but I'll list some of the features below.
•   Mastergrade (AAAA) Bearclaw Spruce with incredible grain, hand selected by Jean Larrivee.
•   Mastergrade (AAAA) Quilted Maple Sides & Back, all from the same piece of wood, also hand selected by Jean Larrivee.
•   Green Heart-of-Abalone, Ebony, and Tiger-Maple Binding.
•   Ebony Tuning Pegs.
•   One piece Honduran Mahogany Neck.
•   African Ebony Bridge and Fingerboard.
•   Beautiful Pearl Inlaid Neck & Bridge.
•   African Ebony Veneer Headstock w/ Inlaid Logo surrounded by Sterling Silver
•   Scale Length 25.5
•   Nut Width 1.75
•   Depth 4.75
For all its visual beauty, the most amazing thing about this instrument is its sound. It has tremendous warmth to go along with its outstanding clarity. There are no weak spots in the tonal range. This is, by far, the best sounding Maple Guitar I've ever heard, including my Gibson Dove. I has the richness of Rosewood, with the presence of Maple.
The overall condition is Excellent ++. There are two minimal dents on the back of the neck at the fifth & sixth frets that are not really noticeable. The Guitar has just had a fresh setup and the action is low & fast.
Price: $2850 shipped & Insured (CONUS). PayPal Accepted. I have forum references, as well as 326 perfect feedbacks on eBay (rabid_rick).
Trades will be considered as long as there's cash involved.
Thanks for looking!
Rick

I just picked this guitar up in a trade + with my Taylor.  It may be the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen!!  I've never had a Larrivee, but am enjoying the experience.  I've been surprised at how different is is from my Taylors from the past.  It seems to have much longer sustain.  The neck feels slightly different, as well.  Can anyone "educate me" on Larrivees?  I can read up on the company, but I'm looking for more personal/testimonial information... particularly the differences between Taylors and Larrivees- I'm feeling it a little, but having trouble defining it.

Glad to be a new member of the community :-)
