Default Anyone ever play an old Larrivee classical guitar?

Jean Larrivee actually made classical guitars in the late '60s / early '70s before he started making steel string acoustics. Anyone ever see/play a Larrivee classical? I'm not sure when they stopped making classicals but based on googling it looks like the L-35 was made in 1989.

I used to own one and had it for some years. I bought it second-hand in the late 1970's. Not a great instrument.

Thanks guys. Perhaps one of the reasons we don't often hear of Jean's classical guitars. At least he's doing it right with the steel strings.
