The Peruvian walnut L03 is a mighty fine looking Larrivee. :nice guitar:  :nice guitar:  :nice guitar:

I visited Don and Marty when all those customs rolled in.  Met Jean Larrivee there too.  Good memories

My first Larrivee was an LV-03RE with Alpine Spruce from Don and Marty, and I've been hooked ever since.

Funny, my first Larrivee was an LV-03E from them.

Do you still have it?
I gave mine to our oldest son, who is an excellent guitar player, after buying an OM-40M. I was pretty sure I didn't need two good guitars. Then came an 0-01 Walnut, F33 and A33 mandolins, a Forum VI and a much anticipated Forum VII. All started with the kind folks at Wildwood. I sure hope they're enjoying their retirement.

Welp, you've now given me an excuse to show off my Wildwood, so I can't stop myself.

Bought this in 2012 following one of the Forum IV offerings which hooked me on OO 12 frets for all time. Had no idea of quilted mahogany, at the time I simply wanted an all gloss finish OO and this fit the bill. The Alpine Italian spruce top is still pretty creamy light compared to my sitka topped OO.

No, I sold it on here for a few years back. I don't keep many guitars, I love experiencing different ones and the Wildwood Italian Spruce was very interesting.
