SOLD

Bought this on impulse some weeks ago and have other plans so will list it here and perhaps elsewhere.

I rarely buy/sell so will have to figure out postage etc though if in Scotland, handover in person preferred. 
Please bear with me re postage given it's been a while. 
I've been on these forums over 20 years so I'm sure folk can vouch for me.

How's it sound? 
Very "shimmery" - has mahogany mids and that rosewood treble ring.
I'd say it is on a par with my Avalon, which everybody says is my best sounding guitar.
Jean Larrivee's favourite back & sides wood, apparently.

How's it play? 
Go try a Larrivee in a store to find out. I love the neck - feels very comfy, like "home" (twee but true)

I'd describe the condition as excellent. 

This was £1850 in 2017 and has been upgraded to tune of  ~£1950 total.

I'm sure it would cost more today, likely over £2k+.

£1400

The silver oak is highly figured and it's a super, super light guitar and very resonant.

Very nice, if only I hadn't just bought etc.

Hello mate

Thanks

Price drop £1150 but might shift very soon as part-ex (as in within day or two) so get in touch if interested.

An incredible price!

This looks like a deal of the century. A silver oak OM from Larrive will be in the 09 series at £3k+ factor in a £300 pickup system and it's a bit of a no brainer. GLWTS
