While not a uke, this is a great gateway guitar due to its 24" scale. This special edition Larrivee Parlor P03 has a Canadian sitka spruce top with solid African Zebrano back & sides. The 24" scale is super comfortable and yet also sounds SO much bigger than it is. Lots of favorable reviews online.
This particular guitar has less than 60 minutes of play time on it and is in dead mint condition.
I have sold many ukuleles and guitars and everyone has been happy. I have one damaged in shipping and I immediately refunded the buyer's money. And I always offer a 3-day inspection period on anything I sell.
I paid over $1,400 plus import duties as the shop I bought it from was UK-based, so I think all-in it was close to $1,600. Selling for $950 with the original hardsided case, shipped ground CONUS. I'm unable to consider trades as I am already +2 on guitars and about +10 on high end ukes.
So, why the heck am I selling? It has a standard 1-3/4 neck with 2-7/32 string spacing, which are too narrow for my liking. But I loved everything else about this guitar. I previously listed this guitar and then pulled the listing as I contacted Larrivee who thought they could replace the bridge. They had it for a few months and determined that would not work, so we moved to a neck replace. Yet another few months went by and then they said it made no sense given the risk of damage in replacing the neck. They felt badly that this all took so long and offered me a nice deal to build a new one with custom neck (1 7/8 with 2 3/8 string spacing and I added a torch inlay). I recently picked up both guitars and am over the moon with new new one.
