One In and one out. My Larrivee sold today and my new D-140 arrived from Amazon.
It came still in all of the factory packaging with the wrapper still on the strings, so I'm sure I'm the first person to see it since it was boxed up at the factory. It came with a QC tag on it with the stylized "GR" running around the border of the tag, so I assume it came from the Grand Reward factory. As far as I can tell the fit and finish is flawless. There is some nice silking on the top and the burst looks much better than it did on the Amazon website. The back grain is really nice and the gloss finish looks like glass. From looking at it, I'd never guess that this was a sub-$2000 guitar, let alone a $518 steal. It looks that good.
It sounds good too. Here's the factory video:

And yes, it looks and sounds that good in person.
My only complaint is that the saddle is a little low for my taste. I shimmed it for now, but I'll probably a make up a new one this weekend from a too-tall bone one I found in my parts box.
Yup. I'm happy about this one.
