Now that certainly is unique. A mahogany top with macassar ebony back/sides?? It sure is interesting, but man I'm don't know how in the heck that combo would sound.

I just wanted to pipe up and make mention that this is NOT a larrivee guitar. This is a guitar that was made by an ex Larrivee Employee out of pieces retrieved from the trash. The seller is falsely advertising this as a "Larrivee" Guitar.

Thanks for the heads up Matthew...

Hey....someday I think I'll put together a bunch of numbers I got outta the recycled paper bin and try to pass it off as my agency's new budget....just for kicks.  :lol:  
Don't take no wooden nickles, and don't put beans in your ears.

that thing is pretty interesting looking though....i really wonder what that combo of woods sound like.

Yeah, that thing is really ugly.

No wonder the seller made the bidding private.

I looked at it quickly and the inlay at the bridge reminded me of skull and bones.  The perfect guitar for halloween!

Thanks Matthew!  
I was considering bidding on it - now I won't.  I wondered about that strange headstock inlay.
For all I know, it may be a fine guitar.  But it's not a Larrivee!  So I'll pass.

Is it just my eyes, or is there no truss rod cover on the head stock? Do you think it has truss rods?

I know this isn't a Larrivee but no Larrivees have truss rod covers. Do they?

Me too. I own a dred with ebony back and sides....but it's not from a trash heap. I've never seen that combo before.  :huh:

if it weren't for the weakly designed headstock (that's all i can think to call it), i don't think it's that ugly of a guitar. too bad it's being mis-represented. that headstock stinks! it would have been better with nothing on it.

i had a good look at that ad and it seems like a good chance to get a one of kind guitar. using the name is a little iffy, but all in all it is a larrivee. i dont realy beleive the trash bin story.
