You're safe for now, no 9s or 10s currently, just the aforementioned selection of 5s.Polar Bear wrote:Potentially... I've got three 5s on the wall at work too.Slowy wrote:Got any 9's left?Polar Bear wrote:I still have an LV02e which is a killer guitar, too.

Probably a good thing.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: NGD: Larrivee L-03R
That is a lovely guitar. Having an ongoing desire to pick up a dreadnought vibe guitar to really bash things out, and wondering about getting another Larrivee. L03, is that concert size? (ie, slightly smaller than a dread? Looks beautiful... send us some recordings at some point eh?
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...

Probably a good time to get hold of anything rosewood? Looks similar size to mine (00, Mahogany) after a quick Google

Re: NGD: Larrivee L-03R
The L shape from Larrivee is their own shape. Quite different from a dread and a GC in sound, a lot more balanced than a dread, with a bit of a mid range sparkle.KentNZ wrote:That is a lovely guitar.

I should note that the 3 series with RW back and sides, such as this beast here, give a very similar sound, although I would say less tight sounding, as they don't have the gloss finish. I'm sure Ben's will show up at a gearfest to wow you all over again.Slowy wrote:Got any 9's left?Polar Bear wrote:I still have an LV02e which is a killer guitar, too.

Re: NGD: Larrivee L-03R
Have you got a 00-40? They're a lot smaller than the L, and a 14 fret join, as opposed to the 12 fret on the 00.KentNZ wrote:Probably a good time to get hold of anything rosewood? Looks similar size to mine (00, Mahogany) after a quick Google

Re: NGD: Larrivee L-03R
12 Fret, and yeah, pretty small body. Was looking for a true vintage style dreadnought but didn't have the coin and came across this mahogany one that just sounded so good, and plugged in.

Re: NGD: Larrivee L-03R
Yep, killer guitars. I've had a couple through work, one in at the moment too. I'd have one in a heartbeat. We had a OOO-60 through that was a 12 fret slot head that was one of the single most joyful guitars I've ever played.KentNZ wrote:12 Fret, and yeah, pretty small body.

I really that style of headstock. Not sure why. Avalon have some lovely Americana guitars done that way.

Polar bear, any experience with the SD models? We should probably start a Larivee fan club purchased the "vintage" styled machine head winder. Feels amazing
