Excellent condition, 8/10, Made in Canada, this classic late 1980s Larrivee is no longer made, but it would be priced between the L-09 (about 39000SEK/3700USD) and the L-10 (about 51000SEK/5000USD), It was a work of inlay art, and would currently command a steep add-on price if still made. This guitar has only very minor blemishes that are hardly visible, and its tone is terrific. It has rosewood back and sides and a high-quality spruce top. It has an ebony fingerboard, with the classic L19 inlay pattern. This guitar has a mid-sized body with a 1 & 3/4" fingerboard.

Here is a good explanation about the L-19 name: Over thirty years of guitar building, models have been introduced and discontinued, names have evolved, and the specifications of some models have changed, sometimes almost beyond recognition to the person reading the current spec chart. Most of the questions we get in this area are about models with "-19" in the name. The "-19" series was developed in the late 1970s. Jean Larrivée made a relatively plain model called the L-09 and fancy model called the L-10. One of Jean's distributors thought he had a market for an intermediate model. This presented a naming dilemma. He couldn't very well call the new model the "L-09 and a half" or the "L-09.5". Well I suppose he could have but, it would have struck most people as an eccentric choice. Anyway the new model became the L-19, and for many years we patiently explained to people that our models didn't in this case follow the logical progression of higher numbers for fancier models. In those days we had a relatively small production and a limited number of dealers. They got used to this particular naming oddity and life went on. Several years ago we started building more instruments, which meant expanding our dealer base, which meant explaining the model "-19" over and over. Finally we decided to end the confusion and deep six the name altogether. You can still buy exactly the same guitar, except now we call it an "-09" with some custom features added. It would be priced in between an "-09" and a "-10".
