Dan,
   Was this the one with the Fishman unit in the lower bout?  I recall they had a couple of these about two years ago.

[drmlabs]

this is the one without a pickup.

[Queequeg]

looking forward to seeing the pictures. in the meantime, the mind reels-
I've seen the torch on the headstock and the vine on the fretboard, but never the other way round...

[Fisherman]

I'm also looking forward to seeing pics of this one, I love the LS model. What is the torch headstock anyway- probably a stupid question but is it the style of headstock or an inlay?

[drmlabs]

picture will tell 1,000 words so they say, and I'll be snapping some pics tonight after work.  In the meantime,  Wildwood music had some special Larrivees made back a number of years, with some unique inlays I havent seen anywhere else.  At least thats what I remember Marty from Wildwood telling me.  Just the right amount of 'bling' without overdoing it  (in my opinion).  I love the LS size too - very comfortable to play but with a goodly amount of volume too.

That is beautiful.  I have seen a L-05 with these same inlays...I love the understated aesthetic...a very traditional, old-world look.  I'm not much for the genies, angels, sea horses, etc. by Wendy.  This is where it's at.  Good luck with the sale.  I'm not in a position to buy this one right now, but everybody else, listen!  This is a great Larrivee!!!!

Jump on it.

Darn it I need money!  I love the LS models, and this one is perfect.  Oh well, someone please buy this before I have to duct tape my wallet shut and bury it in a mason jar in the back yard
