I see someone on rmmga has already replied that they are interested.

I've seen one of these on ebay twice before, so they do become available from time to time.

I've sent an email to the owner to see if its still for sale.

I should get this - than I would have #0 and #1.
Yes, they made a #0 - I even had it confirmed by Larrivee.
Its the very first one.

So what's your opinion on the sound of Brazilian rosewood on the parlor, compared with all your others?

According to the description, this was made w/ Koa binding on the body and along the fingerboard? I've always wondered if Larrivee did wood fingerboard binding as an option - anyone know of any other models w/ this option? Can it be custom ordered? Nice specs on the parlor, in any event.

To my ears, the Brazilian sounds the best of all the parlors.  Louder, fuller, and clearer tone - much closer to a full size guitar than you would expect from a little box.  Just a delight.  The workmanship on the FQMS parlors Ive seen is exceptional.  Really the best Larrivee has to offer.  If FQMS ever does another limited issue, I don't care what model really, I'd be in line to get it.  They are 'keepers' and the last of my guitars I'd ever part with.

I contacted the seller 1 day after the post on rmmga, but it appears I was second in line for this beauty.  :<>

Randy, it looks like it may still be available.

It would make a nice addition to your collection. Perhaps, the crown jewel?
