Wow, I feel bad--I misspelled Larrivee. These have been really surprising guitars to me. I hope you get to check one out. If I had the money, I'd be all over one. The website for the company is http://www.larrivee.com/

I guess you could also try looking on eBay for some vintage Martins or what not but...the problem is that it's a guitar that you buy before you hear, and I think we all know that not all guitars (even of the same manufacturer and style) are created equal.

Keep me informed of your accoustic search!
