Larrivee LV-03RE

Specs:

All solid wood construction
Solid Stika Spruce Top
S. Indian Rosewook back and sides
Low Action & Fast Neck
Onboard Preamp and Electronics (B-Band)
Factory strung with Elixir light strings
Cutaway body
Dovetail neck joint


This guitar is incredible. I just got it new for $850 USD. It lists for $1799 but can be found less through some small dealers. It is totally handmade, and plays (IMO) better than a Taylor and Martin. The neck is fast and the action is perfect. The tone is incredible and has a well balanced mix between the Taylor's highs and Martins distinctive lows. Also, unlike Taylors and Martins the Larrivee (so I read) are entirely hand made and they definatly play incredible. Check them out and you might be surprised at the high quality and sound.

My preious guitars include a Yamaha, Les Paul, and Guild True American, of which the Larrivee blows them all away in my opinion. Great guitar, great deal. More info at http://www.larrivee.com
