I'd like a Larrivée Crossover

I really need a nice nylon string in my collection.

I've been drooling over Kirk Sand Nylon crossover guitars lately. He passed away a few years ago. They are out of my price range.

I'd like a Larrivée Nylon string acoustic, 1 7/8 inch nut, Spruce/Rosewood, probably an OM cutaway, with an Ice Tea burst.

Larrivée - what do you say? Can we make this happen one day?

Anyone else? Do you play a crossover nylon string acoustic/electric? My other choice is a Godin Multiac.

I recently acquired the Godin G-Tour Nylon Acoustic-electric Guitar in Matte Black which is a crossover.  I have smaller hands, so the 1.65" nut-width and 12" radius is perfect for me, but might be too "cluttered" for others. It sounds nice acoustically, but really shines amped up or recording through an interface, especially tracking and layering.

Good luck and I have also heard nice things about the Godin Mundial Series!

Well, they do do custom builds.  Have you contacted them directly?  May not see your post here.

If Larrivée built one I would have purchased one.
But I do have the Godin Mundial, which I like very much.

Hey thanks for the replies!

I ended up purchasing a used Godin Multiac Mundial Canyon a couple months ago. It's been fun to play but a full acoustic would be nice too. I've seen the Furch nylon online and they look really nice.

I something a while ago about the Furch's. There were complaints about the neck being too cramped. If I ever went back to a nylon, it would have to be a true handmade classical.

Godin makes sense. They are so strong in that crossover market. I remember it felt like there were a million choices 20 years ago but I think a few builders have sort over taken over that market.
