I have a beautiful Larrivee that I bought for my son about 7-8 years ago.  As a tribute to him I'd like to keep it stored away.  The questions I have are:
1)  I'm trying to find the model number and serial number.  I've looked in inside as far as I can see, and there is no number on the name tag, but I can see what looks like a number 10 where the neck fastens to the body.  Other then that I can see no place with numbers on it.
The guitar has the inlay around the outside of the body, and around the hole of the body. 
Can anyone help me to determine the model and year?  I'm also looking for a hard case with a curved top for it.  The original case is destroyed.  It measures approx. 41.5 x 16 x 11.5 x 5.5 at the top.
Thanks very much...........Thom
if you can reply with email I'd appreciate it.

Hi Thom. Larrivee puts their serial number inside the guitar on the neck block.  Look in the sound hole towards the neck, and tell us every thing it says there.  Should also be a number denoting model. If you post some pictures of the guitar front and back we could tell you a lot more.

That vintage should have a four digit serial number, my 2000 OM-02 is 4xxx.

Hi ThomLB
Very sorry for your loss.
Take a look just above the "10" and perhaps you'll see a serial number.
Perhaps take this guitar to your local music sore and have them help you select a proper case for this guitar. They may be able to assist with identifying this guitar, too.
Peace.

Everyone, thanks for the replies.  I will look again to see what I can see.  But I've looked a few times and was only able to see the number 10.  I'll also try to get some pictures of it.
Thanks very much,
Thom

Thom,  I have a series 3 Larrivee case that fits the D and L models.  Like new, but not arch top. Would still be very good storage.

If interested let me know.

Thom -- I have no idea where you live, but just  wanted to mention that you will have to maintain a reasonable relative humidity level (in the 40-50 % range) in the case once you store the guitar away or it will likely crack.
Take care,
Al
