They were both gorgeous but in the end, I think I swayed toward the LV-09. Would love to meet it again.
That must have been over 10 years ago... the pair that was sitting in a queen street was definitely a sight.

Was disappointed that they didn’t have enough larrivees stocked up when I visited Auckland last year
Actually longer. I've been separated for 14 years....... :shock:

14 is over 10 years..... :mrgreen: im off to bangkok tonight, and they have some really nice larrivees at one of their dealers.... unfortunately the nice ones are all boxed up. i have been unable to convince them i can pay for one, so they have yet to let me play anything more than a 03..... sad really.

03's are nice... until you play an 09.

I can't find a glamour shot but here's mine in action:

This one is a slightly odd model, an S7p.
Same woods, design, bracing pattern, etc as a O10, but to provide a lower cost guitar, they built them with a one piece neck, and very simple binding and finishing. It's an amazing guitar, and I got it for a good price, maybe not amazing, but I was able to play it first and it's become my favourite guitar.

Ah yes. Price seems a little on the high side, but not much. Looks great.

Fair enough, but next time you might want to set some perimeter alarms. Even milk bottle tops on a tripwire would help ;)

Set up a perimeter of Chardonnay bottles and they'd never get through.
