This is a used guitar. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop. When a guitar is purchased from us it undergoes a final setup check before shipping to ensure it's playing optimally. It is then packed with care and shipped to your door! (But please be aware that it may need slight tweaks upon arrival due to weather differences, jostling during shipping, etc.). Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as "Mint Condition" or "10/10" for condition). If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!

-------------------------

Condition Notes:

- Condition: 7.5/10

- Fret wear: None/Stainless steel

- Any wear of note: Extremely light swirling on top finish (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Only visible in certain light, very minor) and a fair few dings, dents and finish chips throughout. The fretboard has been scalloped and re-fretted to extra jumbo stainless steel frets. The pickups were switched out to a Suhr Aldrich in the bridge and ML's in the neck and middle (original pickups NOT included).

- Other notes: This is a really cool guitar! It was made in Canada by the fine folks at Larrivee. So you can be sure it was made with incredible attention to detail and top quality components and craftsmanship. It's a 3-piece maple neck with a neck-thru body construction, which means it has tons of sustain and is uber stable! The neck is a thinner sort of medium C shape. It's a little thinner than an American standard strat kind of feel but it's not a Wizard feel either. The ebony fingerboard, as stated above, has been professionally scalloped and re-fretted with extra jumbo stainless steel frets. So it plays effortlessly and the frets are going to last just about forever! The scalloping measures just about 2.4mm at the 5th fret, with the low E string laid flat across the frets (measuring from the bottom of the string to the lowest point of the scalloping in the fret). Really a dream to play. Includes hard case (does show some wear but will be packed well) and tremolo arm.
