Although I'm the lone dissenter in the Larivée travel vs. Baby Taylor threads, from my experience the company does make excellent guitars. Our "girl singer," as Charlie introduces her, Nancy, has a Larivée--I'm not sure of the model, but it's both beautiful to look at and a great playing instrument. I've also played a number of the company's other full size guitars at Guitar Center and left drool all over them. Luckily I made it out of the store before anybody tried to collect damages.
