Sam Ash was the first place I ever saw or played a Larrivee. That would be about 11 years ago. It was when I was just beginning to "get back into" guitars, after a long hiatus. Money was a bit tighter then, and although I loved the sound and feel of the ones I played, I thought there was no way I'd ever pay over $1K for a guitar. Then they stopped carrying them. A salesman said they clearanced them out for about 40% off. I was bummed I missed that sale.
I did see where GC was going to carry them again, about 4 years ago or so. I think I saw one model in my local GC. Once it sold, I haven't seen another (except a used one). Since all we have here are GC, Sam Ash and George's, I don't think I'll see another one new unless I travel somewhere.
