OK I don't buy any more guitars but I had no choice in the matter it keep me up thinking of it.Its an L10 Koa.Its a lefty that I plan on making it a righty.I don't have a bridge right now but I plan on contacting Larrivve to get one.For now a new righty nut so I can play it.It needs a fret dressing and I will be installing an a Baggs active Ibeam in it.

Congrats, may you enjoy it forever.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.
I'm curious as to how different it sounds from a regular L-10.
Keep us posted on your impressions after you get it converted.

I've only played it as a righty trying and failing lefty {strings upside} and only in the store so at this time I can't really say.I'll know more in a couple of days after I do a couple of paying jobs first.

Rob, that IS nice looking! I love those older, "classic Larrivee" fretboard inlays! Reminds me of "the good old days" at Larrivee!

Nice subtle Koa, too - but I'm betting it has the tone  -  it spoke to you, so it must!

I'm not sure if there is anyone at Larrivee right now so any of you who know anything about sr.#'s the # is 262XX.One more thing it came stock with an active Fishman UTS which I'm replacing.I just finish the fret dressing and now its time for a new bone saddle and nut. :bgrin:

Once again Andrew THANK YOU. :cheers

It was born Nov.26 1998.

I thought it was a 98 or 99 by the inlays.Only thing left to do is make the new nut which I will do tomorrow THEN its play time. :nana_guitar

Well no new nut today as money jobs come first.Had a cool 80's Harmony short scale bass to set up,an Epi LP need so quike twicking and a string change,a nice Master Built Epi from China that needed some adjustments by the way really cool guitar and a 60's Martin D35 that needed the fret ends filed and rounded.So a good day even though I didn't get to work on my own stuff.

OK no video today but tomorrow for sure.Had 2 of the guitarist {I hate them there so good} I know played her the first a jazz player liked the darker sound it got acoustically.The other was the guy I bought it from he also commented on the darker tone BUT what really got him was how in tune it was with a lefty saddle and strung righty.He said it was more intune them some other guitars he's played.Well thats all for now have a good Day/night. :wave
