When I first purchased,brought home and played this guitar,there were a few things about it I had not yet learned and/or noticed such as,
Strings-Lite or extra lite gauge only.(This is what it is set up for at the factory and this is what you should use)
Volume-being a small bodied guitar,it does not project like a full sized dreadnought would.
Application-I do not use a pick when playing this instrument.It just doesn't feel like something you'd want to beat on.I use it primarily for playing finger-style.(thumb pick ok)
Playability-Very easy to play.The combination of lite gauge strings and it's small body size make it extremely easy to play for those days when your a little beat from work. The MSRP at the time was $1198.00,I paid $799.00 (new) at my local music store.As with any guitar or anything else for that matter,the value drops as soon as you buy it and walk out the door,but these seem to be holding their value.There is also a rosewood version which I didn't know at the time and have yet to play.This guitar is considered to be a base model for Larrivee,but I have to say,I was and still am today very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of it.The case is very nice and sturdy also.I don't know if these are still in production,but you can find them new and used everywhere.
