Thanks Michael-

This Larrivee is the only non-Taylor that I've stuck with, and that's a compliment to this guitar, because I really do prefer Taylors!
she's a beauty :D
i'll bet she has the tone to match the looks as well :)

i had a larrivee C-05 similar to this one (same year model), which i thought was very nice

& a D-05 mahogany top ... the LTD run of 03 series silver oak was cool, too :D

Stunning guitar, Michael! Also, the quilting on the back and sides is mesmerizing :)

thanks for the kind comments :)

the previous owner had some nice upgrades on it
(premium sitka top, abalone edging & high figure maple)
but unfortunately i wasn't able to fully bond with its tone :(

hope y'all have a good weekend :D
