Hi, I'll take it!

What does "last of the solid mahogany 03s" mean?  Are they gonna be laminated now or something?

Believe this topic is discussed in the main Larrivee forum at the link below.

I guess the above link explains it better than I can.  I have to say I'm selling it because mahogany just doesn't do it for me.  I thought I would give it another try in the body of an OM, but I soon realized my mistake.

But here is the exception. Gallagher uses African mahogany.  I don't know how that is different from South American, but my favorite guitar is my Gallagher Doc Watson.  I keep one other mahogany in the stable; my first "real" guitar which has sentimental value, a 1996 Taylor 410 that my wife bought me.    It is a very nice guitar and has even opened up amazingly despite the fact that it gets totally neglected.

I haven't been around any old D-18's or the like, but I expect the true value of mahogany comes with age.  Is that right?
