I'm looking to buy a new Larrivee. My choice has come down to the LV 09 vs the Larrivee LSV-11. The woods are the same, but the size specs differ. Besides having a slightly smaller body, the LSV has a slightly wider string spacing (2.25 " at the bridge) and a thinner neck radius, both of which suit my style of playing: unaccompanied finger picking, in the folk, spiritual, and ragtime genre.

Since you have to custom order the LSV, it's impossible to play before you buy, though there is a return policy. The specs, along with Larrivee's excellent (to my knowledge) reputation is tending me toward the LSV-11 sight unseen. That and the fact that I can buy one mint for under two grand.

Any comments from experience?

I'm mostly interested in the tonal qualities, not the action, since I know a pretty good luthier who can set the guitar up to suit me.
