dude just to let you know (if you dont already) i got bored during school (at there now) and im looking at the larrivee site and it says the L models are best for fingerpicking, D best for strumming, and OM for versatility between styles. says it in the FAQs.

yep, it says you play any style on either model, but typically dreadnoughts have more bass and volume so are better for strummers, while the smaller bodies are better for fingerstyle since the sound is more evenly balanced. The L models have a bit deeper body than the OM model so they will be louder so they'll also be better for fingerstyle and strumming than the OM. I heard the OMs were very very nice little guitars.

I think the L model is perfect for me.

heheh yeah, it would be worth the trip I think to check them out. the L-10 has beautiful inlay work, which were designed pretty much by Jean Larrivee's wife. The L-09 is virtually the same in every other way. And the difference with the L-05 is just the mahogany instead of rosewood, which I've heard sounds better than the rosewood on this model. but its all personal preference. They use clear pick guards too because they didn't want to look like they were copying anyone elses

I like that no pickguard look though, like the Taylor 900 models. someone an acousticguitar message board got his L-03R (rosewood b/s) for $750 !!! and thats shipped from California to Georgia. and he said you could probably get the mahogany b/s model for about $150 less! that is a steal!!!!

Hey gravey-boy, that L-09, that was at $1300, well now it's at $1150.

There it is. The reason the price is so low is that it's on a Dutch Auctions page, which means that everyday, the price is lowered some, until someone buys it. So you want the guitar to go as low as it can before you buy it, but you don't want someone else to snatch it up ahead of you...
