Well I did complete course correction and decided to go with a spruce top ! Much more versatile than all mahogany in my opinion plus JR Larivee had one ready to go now ! It's a great songwriting tool ! I would love to post pictures but can't seem to be able to figure it out ?

It's amazing ! Just got done putting a set of Earthwood light gauge strings on it and it plays and sounds great !

Congratulations! I am also rethinking my order since I have 8 months to wait. I'm thinking an Adi top. You just can't beat spruce.

Congrats! I'm sure the mahogany would've delivered, but I think you made the right call going with spruce. Hard to go wrong with it on a 000-40. I've been mostly playing mine lately. Great guitar  :thumb

Is Adi a custom option? I don't believe I've ever seen a Larrivee with an Adi top before. Played a lot of them: cedar, mahogany, various euro spruces, koa, but never Adi.

Larrivee only makes the 24 series with an Adi top. I don't think I want a short scale with an Adi top. So, while I've bashed Eastman with their limited offerings for lefty players, and their resale value, I am considering one. Spruce / rosewood is my all-time favorite combo. I have 3 now. Maybe one with an Adi top. My dealer has a new lefty E-20 that he says has incredible sustain. He said he wants to keep it for himself and sell his Martin LOL. Maybe I can change his mind. I've heard the instrument.  While I want an all hogg instrument, I wonder if it will be a much played guitar.

FWIW, any time I bought a guitar for the wood and not the maker, I've ended up disappointed in the long run and sold the guitar. That's especially true when it's variations on a wood as I find they aren't nearly as important as the builder and woods vary a lot. YMMV, but it's the biggest acoustic buying mistake I've made.
