For Sale: 79' Larrivee L-09 w/Upgrades - FINAL PRICE DROP $old

[Dustinfurlow]

For your consideration is my vintage Larrivee in good cosmetic condition for its age - no cracks, previous repairs or major fret-wear but some blemishes, dings, and scratches that are mostly insignificant for a 37 year old guitar.

***Added video links with flatpicking and fingerstyle in standard tuning and drop D, also a link with the k&k through an AER compact 60.
Note the sustain, woody tone and singing overtones.

The current setup handles lights, light-mediums and mediums with flying colors. Ideal action (IMO) for fingerstyle and flatpicking alike. Spot-on intonation in standard and lowered turnings like DADGAD and open G.

Has a beautiful Sitka top that is nothing like any other Sitka I have seen, silky and creamy in some areas, extremely warm and responsive (see video link)

The back and sides are a gorgeous Indian Rosewood with coloration and grain that look like the Madagascar you see on modern guitars. Nice knots in the grain.

The nut width is 1 11/16, making it slightly thinner than modern l-09s Which have 1 3/4 nut width and slightly wider string-spacing at the saddle.

I replaced the old tuners with brand new Grover Rotomatics with Imperial buttons to match the older l-11 models Jean produced during the early 80's. Can include its original Rotomatics though which work fine.

I also installed a k&k Trinity system that sounds phenomenal plugged in. The sound is very natural and replicates the natural acoustic tone really, really well when EQ-ed properly.

When I bought this guitar it was $2000 +$150 shipping across the Canadian border. After the $400 of upgrades I'm willing to take a hit but please, no lowball offers. Asking $1700 paypalled and shipped.

It sounds full, open, and rich like a 37 year old guitar ought to and flat picks and finger picks equally well. The video is a spot-on representation of the tone and dynamic this guitar has to offer. No eq but I believe there was a smidge of reverb.

Questions about the k&k sound and how it handles flatpicking so I uploaded videos (links in description) and added a flatpicking tune with the k&k Trinity through an AER compact 60 to give an idea the great sound they produce. Pm with questions.

**** son! What a talented player... Awesome command of the guitar.

GLWS! The L-09 sounds killer in your hands.

I sort of hate interrupting your effort to sell that guitar, but your playing is enchanting. There's a million ways that people can make a guitar sound great, but that's exactly the way I would play for my own enjoyment if I could.

Last price drop before this gal goes on eBay and consigned to local shops...hoping to share this beauty with one of the fine members of this forum who can appreciate it...$1700 gets it. You won't find a better price for a guitar of this caliber and with these upgrades. I'm taking a massive hit but need $$$
