Up for sale, a 2005 Larrivée P-09 Flame Maple in excellent condition, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtag. Crafted in Oxnard, California, the P-09 is the premium parlor of Larrivée's Artist Series, and this less common Flame Maple version (Indian rosewood being the standard) features a parabolic X-braced spruce top paired with flame maple back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a bound ebony fingerboard, outfitted with a Martin Thinline Gold+Plus undersaddle pickup.

Weighing 4lbs, this parlor is surprisingly powerful and yields ample projection, with an immediate, punchy quality to the wound strings. Chiming, clear, and sonorous, the maple back and rims along with the ebony fingerboard ensure a strong note attack and crisp treble response. The plain strings are bell-like and sweet, with a woody, percussive midrange quality when digging in hard with a flatpick. This P-09 Flame Maple has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
