Here's a picture of my Larrivée Classical with Florentine Cutaway.  I could not find a picture of it anywhere so I finally dug out a camera so I could share this with you.





With its J10 (1994) sibling.




and apparently it's the custom to provide

Hi Roger, Mr_LV19E,

The Classical is c. 1980-82. The Jumbo is 1994. Sorry you can't see it through the flash flare, but the Jumbo has a Seahorse inlay.

Gorgeous guitars...I had a '77 classical for a few months (non-cut).  It was a great sounding guitar, piano-like.

Welcome here, ST! Lovely guitars! :thumb I wasn't aware Larrivée was making classical cutaways back then.

And I'm not sure I should thank you on the donuts. I'm trying to quit! :arrow

A little more info:

Luke at Larrivee Guitars tells me that this is a Model 38.

Back and Sides: East Indian Rosewood
Top: Sitka Spruce

Fingerboard: Ebony
Bridge: Ebony
Nut and Saddle: Bone

"It looks like the guitar is from the early 80's as you expected, probably '81 or '82.

Jean had a small shop setup at this point but he was very involved with every aspect of the build."

Things have not changed much, the Oxnard facility is pretty good size. Both Matthew and Jean are involved.
