You should keep it. At that age it's dried/cured to it's optimum level assuming you've played it enough.
What's the new acoustic guitar going to be?
Had something like this been available a few months ago via Reverb, I might not've bought my Larrivee. No regrets though...and it has that freakishly pale top that you talked about.
Collings 001 14-fret
I’m sure you’re in good shape with the Larrivee. Have you posted pics? And yeah it takes time but the top will darken.
You've seen it, it's just been a few months...
