I also got a chance to drive the same Baby Larrivee that Rick did and liked it enough to buy it. Being in the midst of guitar consolidation I took my Baby Taylor and my Tacoma Papoose in to play against the Larrivee. It made toothpicks out of both of them. I was particularily surprised by the gap between the Taylor and Larrivee. The Larrivee sounded like a real guitar despite being maybe 10% bigger in overall dimensions. BTW I do not work for Larrivee or any guitar store. This is the first Larrivee I have ever bought although I have played a number of them, both old and new. I hadn't heard a Larrivee that was this much ahead of the pack especially in this price range. The only one I haven't played is the Baby Collings and it is in the 3,500+ Can range.
