Default Flagship Larrivee Dealers?
I was in the market for a 00 a few weeks ago. I ended up buying a Martin (which I love). But part of the reason was I couldn't find a dealer with a broad selection. Who are the bigger dealers that have a wide assortment plus maybe some customs in the US?

I've never dealt with them as a buyer but their website inventory looks promising. Quite a few custom finishes.

No idea what his current stock is, but a few years ago I dropped by Guitar 48 in Ventura and played 13 or 14 different Larrivees. A couple of Guilds as well. Rob is literally right across the freeway from both factories, so he has excellent access.

If you go to Larrivée's website you can find dealers there.

I think Heartbreaker is one of the busier ones.

Hi Alexrkstr, I know you're in the US but here in Canada Long & McQuade are a major Larrivee dealer. It wouldn't surprise me if they were the biggest given the number of stores.

The 5th String in Greenville SC pretty much only carries Larrivee and
Eastman plus a few used/vintage (trade ins?) ...

Interesting that they have a no return policy

We have a no "return policy"--if purchased, this product is yours.

Indeed an interesting policy. I lived in Greenville and visited the shop. They setup my LV-03e really well, but I got the perception they were a small, family-owned, old-school shop.

Unclear, I called Jason to ask about a few of the listed guitars (the cell phone is still the same), and he said they've been out of business since 2019 I think. No reasoning and I didn't want to probe.
