Acoustics:
Larrivee L 10 Custom: this is a custom order model. The inlays are abalone three maple leaf cover by progressively opening butterfly wings throughout the headstock, neck & bridge; abalone binding around the top & sound hole, Engelman spruce, East Indian rosewood back and sides (that could pass for Brazilian due to the multi-coloration including rust shades); silver striping around the headstock, ebony fingerboard, clear pickguard, ivoroid bound neck, Honduras mahogany neck, true dovetail neck, Shaller keys with ebony buttons. The string action and frets are perfect. It is almost mint except: two very small dings on the top and none are through the finish. There also small indentations on the rim of the sound hole that were caused with a guitar humidifier. I think that a repairman can remove these with steam. The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer so these could be repaired but, the imperfections are so slight I've never bothered. No electronics or pickup system. OHSC, asking $1,900 obo.
Taylor W14C: first series Limited Edition with the Celtic inlay.
