Larrivee Baker T, 2024, OHSC, Immaculate condition , Ice blue metallic

I have a 2024 Larrivée Baker T here with its deluxe factory hard shell case. This is a lightweight specimen weighing just 6 lb 7 oz.

Conditionally, it looks nice and clean.

I found just one mark to point out here. On the lower body edge, there was a little chip about 2 mm in size. And this appears to have been filled in with clear coat perfectly, so there's nothing sloppy about it. The finish is nice and smooth, but the metallic finish has that little clear spot.

Beyond that, any surface signs of use will be absolutely minimal. I found one tiny little scratch on the body back that's about the same intensity as guitar pick strumming. I did not find any actual penetrating finish scratches. There's no buckle rash or worming. There's no neck pocket cracks. I didn't find any indentations or bumps. Nor did I find any buildup of any low intensity pattern playwear. Any superficial swirling will be absolutely minimal. There's no accumulation or buildup of any soft swirling. There's a minimal amount of guitar pick strumming on the plastic pickguard.

The neck looks, feels, and plays great. I found one little dot sized mark on the very tip of the headstock, about the size of a pencil tip, but no notable marks. There is no fretwear. And the guitar plays fantastic. The original electronics are working perfectly, and the case is in excellent condition.

This one rates anywhere from an 8.9 to a 9.1 on the 10 point scale. I'm going to list this one as excellent. The only notable mark I found was an industry small chip that is sealed in and polished glossy smooth. I found one little micro mark on the headstock. Beyond that, the rest of the guitar is on the higher side of excellent throughout. The metallic finish looks beautiful. It's lustrous and shiny. The guitar looks like a 2024 model should. It's very attractive. It is structurally and sonically sound and plays fantastic.

This model is a T style or Telecaster inspired guitar. Review the specs of it which I have copied at the bottom of this listing. They are impressive. 

This translates into a very high quality retro style guitar. Larrivee is not quite as big of a name as Suhr, or Tom Anderson, Nash, or LSL in terms of making electric guitars. But that is exactly the company where I put this one.. It is just simply a fantastic build, the playability and tone and the overall feel of it, the look of the finish, the perfection of the fret work. The subtle things that you notice when you go up a bracket in guitars. They are all present here in spades.

It has a crafted, refined feel that I generally associate with custom shop guitars. The Larrivee factory in Oxnard California is just turning out fantastic instruments. They don't make a large variety of electric guitars more so they focus on a few traditional models. It's actually more difficult to make a high-end acoustic guitar (which they are masters of) than it is a bolt-on electric. So I feel like they have the experience in the chops to do this model justice.

Note that this listing may come down at any time as I am a multi-platform seller and do sell locally and on my own Site as well in an effort to keep sales fluid. State sales tax will be charged on Reverb sales when applicable, so factor that into your purchase.

I will immaculately pack it as well. I use quality shipping boxes, ample tape on all sides. And sufficient bubble wrap filler and bracing inside the box. And always Marked/denoted as fragile. I generally detune guitars 1/2 half step prior to shipment as well if needed.

Thank you for reading and considering!
