I got to play a nice LV-09 maple today

[Chuck40]

Happened by a guitar shop on the way to see one of my customers today. This shop carries quite a few differents brands - Martin, Taylor, Larrivee, Guild, McPherson, and some entry level guitars.
Looking around, I happened upon a LV-09, with a maple back and sides. VERY NICE - compared very favorably with several different Taylor GS models they had on the walls. If I had been buying, I would have taken the LV-09 over any of the Taylors that I checked out.
I found it interesting that the Larrivee "L" body is quite similar in feel to the new Taylor GS - both very comfortable for a full size guitar.

Flamed Maple, Quilted Maple, or just plain Maple?

I've played this modal along with a non cut and a D,Larrivee does maple right. :GRN>

Flamed Maple, Quilted Maple, or just plain Maple?

I believe it was a quilted maple.

I still think Larrivee should make a plain maple 03 model available.
