They'd have to kick me out of this store every night if I lived in Toronto. The sound clips for this guitar are worth a listen.

Yeah, I'm thankful I live all the way downtown instead of on the east end where the 12th Fret is. If I was in walking distance then I'd have 3 times the amount of guitars I already do. I always go to this store for my guitars. Their service is awesome too.

(That's an objective opinion by the way, I don't personally know anyone there)
Lots of acoustics and One Happy Dog

I see this is listed on Larrivee's website under both the 09 and 10 series...I'm assuming both have "traditional" appointments (old style rosette and clear pickguard).  I'd love to order one of these...don't know how I'd swing it financially right now, so I hope they're around for awhile.

As a Larrivee "oldtimer" (relatively speaking - owned and played Larrivee since '92), it's nice to see him bringing back the older appointments that made Larrivee unique.  I hope as his guitars get better known, these appointments will be offered on other models as well, as the guitar public begins to know Larrivee history.

These are what Larrivée guitars are all about, alright. 

That is simply wonderful.Such tone!!! I'd love to hear some more of that.

     Wow,  that is definitely the way a Larrivee should look & sound.  That's what I grew up on in Toronto when I first became aware of handmade guitars in the seventies.  Guitar Adoptions has a nice one also. 

I have a Mint 1996 LC-09, with the Abalone rosette and curly maple binding, plus ebony knob Gotohs. It sure sounds just like this one...So I wonder...should I keep it or sell it to get a baritone??? At this point we have a dozen acoustic 6's in the house.
