very nice guitar indeed...larrivee, collings, froggy bottom, and santa cruz are all great guitars outside of the "Martin & Taylor" spectrum...

I have two Larry's and really like them both. I have a D-02 (mahog back and sides) and an L-03R (rosewood). Praisedave, next time your looking for a new guitar check out their 03 line. You can get a new one for 600-700 or so and a used one cheaper yet. The only difference between the 03 and 05 series is cosmetics.

yep i was gonna get a 03 larry until i decided to build a guitar, then i decided to get an epi chet, and use the save money to buy tools and parts.

i think my next guitar will be a lar. i have two taylors and i have GAS so it will only be a matter of time but man i love the sound of those things.

you are very decisive

hcole: i played an 03 at samash as well and it was missing something, something that i cannot explain and have only found in this 05... i may never find it again

Sometimes a particular guitar just has "it". I don't even know what "it" is but you know it when you hear it.

I recently read an article about factory made guitars. The general idea was that each individual soundboard has to be voiced seperately and in a factory setting that's just not possible. So some guitars will get the perfectly matched soundboards and sound amazing, most will sound good, and a few will be DOA. That's why it's important to play several different guitars even if it's the same model. I thought that was interesting.

If you're really thinking about getting it wait for a while. You might be able to grab it for less than 2k. Unless of course you NEED a car.

I've got a Larivee OM-09 and it's workmanship is unmatched by martin or taylor. It's the prettiest guitar I've got, but it doesnt play or sound quite as good as some of my others........but it was still awsome for $1000 used.
