How To Order A Custom

[scrank]

I've been thinking about ordering a custom Larrivee. Anybody have experience with this?

I'm considering an LS or OO body size with Maple back/sides and cedar top, 1&3/4" neck. Do you guys know what the prices are for these options?

Thanks

Some of the dealers on this site could help you with it.  I know unclrob posted a price list a while back for some custom options.  One thing, I'm pretty sure I've heard recently that Larrivee won't do cedar tops.

scrank you need to contact you local dealer to do a special order.You can also go direct to Larrivee on option's.If you don't have a local dealer,go to there website for the closest one to you.On custom orders it's always better to work local or at least real close.

I've heard that, although they have made some, Larrivee won't accept a custom order for a cedar top.

As personal opinion, I think if you're going custom anyway you might talk to someone like Paragon Guitars. Not much different in price and you're dealing directly with the luthiers and can go as custom as you like.

Do dealers typically offer a discount on custom ordered guitars or do you have to pay list price?

Ever dealer is different.There wil at least be a deposit required.

Just another note on the Cedar top.  I actually have one, and LV-10 Walnut/Cedar.  I like it so well I tried to custom order an OM mate to it in the same woods.
I printed out the e-mail from Larrivee that said NO to Cedar or even Englemann Spruce.  If they will accept your order, that means they will have to accept mine, but so far they have refused.
