My Larrivee C78 Presentation "Unicorn" model was made in 1988. (It was made in their Canadian shop before Larrivee moved to the US) The back and sides are East Indian Rosewood, the top is Sitka Spruce, the neck is Honduran Mahogany, the bridge and fingerboard are African Ebony. It has the C-72 body (smaller than their D series) The "Unicorn" inlay by Wendy Larrivee on headstock is absolutely beautiful. This model is no longer available on Larrivee's catalog but can be ordered as production line instrument (Cost about $5500 in 2003)
I heard from the former Larrivee Sales Manager that this particular guitar was used by Neal Schon when he was doing Larrivee Road Show Demostration in late 80's.
I met with Mr. Larrivee in Chicago in 2007. He was kind enough to autograph this guitar me.
