Special larrivee d03

[DaveyO]

Just bought a larrivee d03 on Guitar Center website
Kind of a curious find
Label says D03 on the inside
But it is a gloss Rosewood
I believe it's an early early model. The serial number is 01070.
Sounds fantastic
A little used though
Anybody have any thoughts?

I'd call that job well done then!

Can you post some pics, Davey?

It's possible it was intended as a gloss model but got sold as an 03 for whatever reason. I've seen that happen. Also, someone could have glossed it. I had a D03 from that era that I took from satin to gloss. It was #01719 though.

BTW, I decided to peek a the GC website and was blown away at the number of used Larrivees at good prices. A few years ago, you'd be lucky to see a couple that were beat up and overpriced. Now, they have a better used selection than just about anyone. They are really making an effort to get in good used gear.
