Larrivée 00-05 -Mint - Reduced!

[Philphool]

Against my better judgement, I've decided to put my 00-05 on the market.  I've got this crazy yearning for a mandolin and need some money.  (I know; I've lost my mind. :rolleyes:)

It's as close to mint as I can see.  No dings or scratches that I've noticed.  It sounds nice with a fingerstyle touch.  It has a 1 11/16 inch nut. (Yes, I re-measured it to be sure since there has been some discussion about how unusual this is.)  Has clear pickguard and original archtop case.
The mahogony back and sides are beautiful.  I love the guitar and thought I'd never sell it, but I need the money and, honestly, I play my other guitars more and the 00 just doesn't get its fair share of the time.

Don't buy it if you cant' give it a good home.

I buy this in a minute if it just did not have the 1 11/16 neck width.

Pretty box, would go nice with my 00 19 (rosewood), but I too need a mandolin. Need a reset on my Gibson and want to have at least a decent back up before giving her up.

Okay, I'm gonna reduce the price once before resorting to ebay.

$1000 plus Shipping & insur.  (prob $30) for this mint condition 00-05 solid beautiful mahogony, sitka top with 1 11/16" nut and abalone rosette.  No longer in production as far as I know.

Thanks for considering,
Phil

Hello...  newbie here.  I tried emailing for some info, I'll try here.  I've been trying to find some specs on this guitar (scale length, bout sizes, etc.)   Do you have these handy, or maybe a link to a page with them?  Is it basically the same dim's as a Martin 00?  I'm hoping to find a replacement for my (orig. issue unbound, satin finish) parlor and shooting for a short scale.

Thanks for any info.

Here you go:

Scale length = 25.5"
Upper bout  =  10"   
Waist  =  8 1/4"
Lower bout  =  14 1/8"

Not short scale, but with Newtone 0.011 strings, it feels pretty soft and cuddly to play!
And notice the new low price! :rolleyes: :WNK>

Thanks for considering,
Phil
