To much money.  Plus it's guitar center for petes sake.  I'd hold off.

It's been on Ebay multiple times and never gets a very high bid if any at all. I called and offered $1800 but he wasn't biting.  The answer to your question though is I think it's worth $2149 but apparently there aren't enough afficianados of cedar/walnut to get them to jump.

too much, although it used to belong to someone famous......our own Ricks :GRN>

Used?? No warranty???  I guess I wasn't paying attention. Not a dime more than $1600.

So you are the famous one that apaprently made the other guy want to sell his?  That whole "story" seems a little bizarre to me.  Well, Ned, CAN I SEE SOME PICTURES PLEASE?  :GRN>

The one at guitar center has some very straight-grained walnut.

I have just this horrible picture that does not give justice to the guitar.



If you want i can prepare some photos tomorrow. :GRN>

Ned, if you were to smash yours it would bring the value on the other one up significantly. Have a heart man, and help him out!  :WNK>

The're still trying to sell my old geetar I see.   I checked it out last time in Atlanta and at least this one has not started to crack or come apart.
That GC is notorious for allowing good guitars to hang high and dry until they are ruined.   I have seen Braz Larrys there with cracks from the bridge to the edge of the top, and lifting as well.
Great guitar, someone should buy it.   And you can't blame the owner of #2 for my displeasure with Larrivee.   I suppose the dealer who got made what they refused to make for others would be a start?
Not his fault either.
And I guess I still need my lawyer to call GC as they are showing something on the internet that was private and they should not even have.
Oh well, so it goes.

This is getting juicy.  Should have just sold it to me and we could have avoided all of this.  :GRN>

GC has a typical corporate mentality, and they don't care how long an item stays in stock...  Until they have a big blow-out sale.  One day, almost completely unannounced, that guitar will be marked down to $1200 and someone local will buy it.

That the truth; I bought an new Alembic Rogue 5 string bass GC Lynnwood for $499.99. Sold it a few years later for $2500
