SOLD - 1991 Larrivee LS-09 rare maple back and sides. - SOLD

[UoftheBlues]

*** This guitar has been sold. ***

I am re listing my LS-09 for sale.  This is a fantastic guitar but I perfer 12 fretters.  This one has a beautiful sitka top with silking all through the top and tight even grain.  The back and sides are maple with great flamming.  It is a very lively guitar.  The guitar is very very light.  The lightest guitar I have ever played.  The sound is clear with a solid bass and great mids and trebles.  This is also the loudest Larrivee I have played.  It may be the years or just these little LSs are great designs.  The guitar is in very good shape with the exception of one good fall that caused one dent about 1 1/4" long and one smaller dent about 1/2" long.  The top hit a stand when it fell.  I was able to steam out most of the dents and then drop filled the remaining dents.  I then leveled it and buffed it out.  It is not bad but not perfect.  If you shift the guitar around in different light you can see the dented area.  It is very stable and sealed.  I also remove a strap button that was on the side just off the neck but still into the neck block.  I removed it and filled to hole.  You can see it but it is level.  It had a strap button for an end pin that I removed and did not fill.  The guitar is in great shape with just a little fret wear.  You will find some small dings here and there but not much.  These older guitars have a nitro finish that is nice and thin.  It makes this guitar really fell like a hand made guitar.  The tuners are Schaller and work great.  The neck is straight with a nice low setup and lots of saddle.  The saddle is compensated bone and the nut is bone.   Comes with non-original hard shell case.

I added some sound samples to the first post.  Forgive the playing I did these too early in the morning.

Weekend bump to the top.  Thanks for looking.

Wow. Those sound samples are very persuasive! That's a much mellower sound than I expected from maple.

I shouldn't really ask, but where do you (and the guitar) live?

Merle,  I am located in the Dallas Texas area.   She does have a nice sound.  The maple gives the trebles a nice ring but doesn't seem to make it harsh and it has very good mids and bass.  Light a a feather and plays great. 

Thanks,
Wade
