2008 Larrivee OM-09 With Herringbone Rosette & Purfling - SOLD!

[BlastersFan55]

Figured I'd give this a shot here on the forum. Just had it on ebay at what I thought was a reasonabable price, but no takers.  Since I've never sold anything here (even though I've tried!) please know that I have a perfect 100% positive record with ebay (20 transactions), so you have no worries if you decide to work with me.

For sale is one Larrivee Model OM-09 acoustic guitar, that was manufactured in the USA in 2008. It is in outstanding, near mint condition except for one flaw on the headstock - more like a scrape which is shown in the pictures. Other that than that, the rest of the guitar is in perfect condition, with no dings, scratches, dents, etc. at all. I used this guitar for strumming, flatpicking, as well as fingerstyle, and it plays like a dream with no ringing or vibration at all. The frets to my eye, look in fine shape with very little wear. Another very nice feature of this guitar is a beautiful herringbone rosette and purfling around the perimeter of the guitar. I am also the original owner of the guitar, and I have kept very good care of it. It was kept in a properly humidified room, and in a smoke free house. The only reason I am selling it is that I purchased a new mahogany OM style guitar, and since I also have an all hog Forum III, and an L-05, something's gotta go.

Just to clarify the headstock "scrape," you can see it by the G tuning peg.  The corner of the headstock is slightly scraped, and there is a white mark that extends maybe 1/4" down the side of the headstock towards the tuning peg.  This was from an encounter with a ceiling fan.    Luckily, it was turning slowly!  Other than that, the guitar is really in mint shape.

Price drop!  Now at $1250 shipped. 

I also did another inspection of the guitar in bright morning sunlight, and noticed a couple of other blemishes.  On the rosewood side of the guitar, at the lower bout (on the pickguard side, i.e. the side that would rest on your lap while playing), there are four miniscule "dings" in the gloss. There is also one ding of the same size on the direct opposite side. These are tiny chips in the gloss that won't even show up in photos. I know, I tried to take photos, and they didn't come out..  That's it....if you want me to send you more photos, please email me. Thanks.
