   What a way to start my day.  I'll be trying to get off work early today to get over there and check these things out.  This was not in the budget for me right now,  but maybe if I sell a couple of things?  This may be too good to pass up.

Man, why do they have to do that!!!  As if there aren't enough Larrivees that I'd like to own already!!! 
That Madagascar rosewood looks superb.  I tried an R Taylor with Madagascar and an Engelmann top and as tonewoods go, it's just about as nice as rosewood can be, sonically and aesthetically.  I can only imagine what these L-09's sound like!  Looks like some of his best sitka as well.  These will go fast no doubt!

Darn, I was there last night and they hadn't yet put them out. I would've loved to have played one. They look awsome. I bet they sound just as good.

I'm not seeing the price -- what are they asking for these? (I can just imagine . . . )

You'd have to email or phone for a quote but I'm betting all things considered the prices will be reasonable.

Maybe in all the hoopla over these beauties, the D-50 there that I have my eye on will continue to be ignored.  :smile:

Is that why someone hid the d50 in the lonely corner?
Haha.
I picked it up, was pretty danged impressed by it!  It's so loud!
I wanted to check the price but there's no sticker on that one... did you peel it off? :)

They really need to restring some of the Martins in that shop...

You're right, I forgot that there's no price  on it.  It wasn't my doing.

I probably shouldn't say this too loud, but it was cheaper than I expected.

I just played the Taylor 2006 Fall Limited 814 the other day with Sitka spruce and Madagascar Rosewood.  I can honestly say that this guitar topped any other Taylors I've played besides a 914 I played with the engleman top.  Having played a Taylor with such appointments, I'm so GASING for this Larrivee.  Too bad I'm a broke college student.

approx $2750 to $2950 would be my especially educated guess

Wow... they out-do themselves each and every year.  These are just breath taking.

Big Martin, USD or Canadian?

The Loonie is at a thirty year high so it makes less difference than it would have not too long ago. $0.926 today.

$2,999 in Cdn $$$ for the L09, and an additional $200 for the cutaway.

     Finally got in to check these things out and they sound as good as they look.  Just a really nice quality feel to them.  I am a bit heavy handed when it comes to playing,  use an extra heavy pick and occassionally strum pretty hard.  I played both a non cut and a cutaway and they didn't choke when I played hard.  I'm a lot more light when I fingerpick and the sustain and response almost surprised me on these things.  Time to start working on the wife and I think I'll have to do it quickly.
