The original Larrivee Parlors sold for much less than what they are selling for now.
About 2 years ago, Larrivee decided to "upgrade" the Parlor by going to a gloss finish, inlaid logo, bone bridge and nut..slight upgrade on the tuners...and more than doubling the price!!
Same designs. Same woods. Basically just added a shiny finish.
I bought my Parlor used right around that time....the old non-gloss model. Cost me just a tad bit more than the Baby Taylor...new.
If you can find a used "old model" Larrivee Parlor, that is definately the way to go.
