It is listed as a Cedar guitar but I don't think so.

I don't know....the grain looks very consistent and the flash is "washing" it out.....It just could be Cedar.....

I'm watching this one.  There's another one on eBay as well, but not listed as cedar.  I suppose with the serial # one could e-mail Larrivee andfind out if it really is cedar.

I guess I need to sweet-talk my wife....our 10th anniversary is next June...that's only about 9 months away...... :GRN>

I wonder what cedar would sound like as the back and side wood? Strange combo, since they don't like to use cedar for tops, but they made some with it as the back/sides?

Its tough buying on ebay from someone who is so misinformed.  I worry that even if I won the guitar they will just throw it in a box and take it to UPS, instead of doing a proper packing job.

I would be concerned with their description of neck alignment, action, etc because of that level of misinformation about general specs.

OTOH, some musicians likely just dont care as much as us on this board who live, breathe, and sleep acoustic guitars

looks like a spruce not doubt cause cedar could have been darker for it's age.

DID YOU SEE THE END OF THIS AUCTION?

Bidding reached $930 and still did not reach reserve, even though his "buy it now" was $949
