Has been upgraded to a bone saddle (from Larrivee) and ebony pins.  Original components will also be included in case.  Has all the original case candy.

This one is a peach and is a difficult decision to let go.   Price:  $750 plus shipping   REDUCED:  $690 + shipping.

Pics are a bit washed out (my lighting was a bit poor this morning).  I'll try to get some better ones ASAP.

Lot's o' nibbling, but no bites yet.  Anyone?

I'm interested, Brent, but I need to sell my LSV-11 first. Depending on what I clear on that, I may be able to swing this if it's still available. I'd really like to stay in the Larrivee family, but the $ is pretty important right now.

Tuoti.  I responded to your PM, but your inbox is full.  In regard to your questions:
  - I'm in Madison, Wisconsin.  Frets are in fine shape.  Saddle is replaced with bone, directly from Larrivee, and pins to ebony from Larrivee as well.  Plenty of room to come down on the saddle if you'd prefer lower action.  I am the second owner of this one, and the previous owner was largely an electric player and he MUST have just stuck it away and not played it much.  It's in fine shape.

Oh..you're right..the pickguard is the standard transparent Larrivee pickguard on many of their models.

Again...I appreciate your looking in!

I get that Peter.  I hope it all works out for you and this goes to a good home.  I think you'll be quite happy with it.

I am interested. Would you entertain any kind of a trade or trade plus cash?

I'm really not interested in trades, but I appreciate your looking in!

It does indeed come with the original HSC.  I've added a new bone saddle, directly from Larrivee, and there is PLENTY of room to come down.  I've got a medium attack, and I also use this for some fingerpicking....so I've got it set up as such.  But pleny o' room on to adjust to your own tastes.

Hope that helps.

Brent - can you please comment on the sustain on your guitar?  I played a new L-03 today and thought it was a bit dead...plenty of volume and good tone, but the chords did not ring like my older rosewood/spruce guitar does...and I am curious how your bone nut might have changed the nature of the sound.

Thanks,
Dave
