$OLD,,Thanks! Flame Maple Larrivee P-09 - Upgraded tuners + pickup - NICE!
First of all.....this is a very nice guitar...Gloss finish, rosewood binding and wonderful figure in the maple.
Secondly, no matter how many times I try to like the 24" scale guitar, my gorilla mitts get in my way! $$$OLD, thanks! Got another guitar in my sights that will fit me better. I can send it on my FedEx account and save you a few bucks. JUST ADDED: New Roadrunner gigbag - fits perfectly! Now about the guitar. I got this one from a member here at the Forum, and have spent the past few days TRYING to love the feel as much as I love the tone. The maple sound is very clean, balanced and not overly bright - I have an L-03 in Quilted Maple I love too, and that one's staying for a looong time.... Not a mark on it that I can find. Neck angle is perfect - frets look like new - I just had it setup at .085" - .070" with Clapton's Choice Martin Strings and a bone saddle. I've added Schaller mini tuners with Ebony buttons, and it already came with a Fishman UST with soundhole controls (no barndoor).  These photos were taken in my wife's garden about a week ago. Shoot me any questions! I'm going to spend the time it's up for sale attempting to get my monkey-mitts around it - maybe I'll pull the ad later.

The Larrivee is ALMOST big enough for me and yes, the nut width is 1.75". Where I have difficulty is playing up the neck - past the fifth fret or so I need to concentrate on precise finger placement to avoid buzzes.
It's almost worth the hassle - the 24" scale frets and bends wonderfully! The Taylor GS Mini is fun - I've played 'em but the scale is even shorter - 23-1/2" FWIW, I wear a true XXXXL glove...I wear any glove that fits - even if the color is bubblegum pink, Ohio winters make me desperate!
