Shadco,
 I have an L10 and think it's just swell. I'm not sure how much better it sounds (probably sounds the same) than a less expensive L03 or L05 but man when it comes to bling, it definately has it. Nicer wood,gloss finish, and lots of beautiful abalone. I bought it not as a workingman's guiatar to gig with, but something I could enjoy looking at as well as play. For the $$ it can't be beat IMHO if you're looking for a guitar with great tone and fancy appointments.

If you like L-10's you might want to also look at the L09CE's. They have just a slightly different look to them with herringbone on the body instead of abalone. But with the fancy fretboard and headstock inlay.

I have an L-10 and love it.  For me just enough gingerbread to have a lot of eye appeal but not overstated but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)  I think it has a great sound, plenty of bass but not overpowering compared to a Martin HD28 I had.  I really like looks and the sound but then I think everything Larrivee produces is first rate.

My L10 just truned 21 years old in January! (but I still won't let her out of my sight)

I admit, it was the looks that made me take her down off the wall in the store. Once I started playing it I was hooked. I bought it on the spot! Since then I have owned, and played, a lot of guitars. This is still my favourite, fits like a glove, sounds like a dream, first out of the house in case of fire or flood, instrument.

I've had a few L-10's and L-09's in the last couple of years....only one of them really was hard to let go......I haven't found an L that really sang to me yet.......I'm sure the search won't end anytime soon.......

The L-10 was a great value 20 years ago when it was unusual to find guitars with abalone inlay around the perimeter of the body at such a price point.  New imported lines now have this feature for less that $500 which doesn't diminish the value or quality of the Larrivee, but means that many people take this decorative feature for granted.

I guess you might say I have an L-10 type Larrivee.  My C10 is an L shaped body with a Florentine cutaway.  I like it so much that I wouldn't trade it for any other guitar I've played so far, and it is not just the bling - it is the tone and playability.  The bling is just the bonus.
