ME's been needing a better guitar and with her health stuff it needed to be small and with a shorter neck. She mostly plays for some little kids at her church so a big sound is not necessary but she does want a nice, full sound.
So off we went to Raleigh today and after some hunting she decided on a Larrivee P03 which seems to have been made in 2003. The instrument seems never to have been played - there's not a pick mark or a dink anywhere on it or the case. I have a note off to Larrivee for more info (date of manufacture, etc.) so we'll see what they come up with. It's (I think) an "OO" body and has 12 useable frets (12 frets to the neck attachment). The tone is very nice and full for such a small instrument and she's going to try a set of coated strings which we think will work better with her violin calluses.
Anyhow, PLEASE tell me we didn't make a colossal mistake. This seems to have been made in Canada so it's probably held together with Molson's but is holding up beautifully.
