Title: Custom Shop Cedar Topped OM
Post by: didymus21 on February 21, 2006, 10:42:21 PM
Well...she arrived a week ago, and boy am I happy.  The transaction was great...Todd (fitness1) is a pleasure to work with.


Here are pictures of the guitar, I hope you all enjoy.  Many of you have seen these.

I'd love to hear opinions.

It's beautiful, but I think we would rather hear your opinion.  How's it sound?  How's it feel?  How about an mp3.  Come on man... inquiring minds want to know!!!

in my experience the combination between Cedar top and mahagony back & side projects the loudest volume. responds is the quickest as well. yeah way to bro! great choice!

She is SWEET! I second the motion for a sample. It's still early there...get to work. School work can wait.

By the way, being a collage student must pay well. :POL>  :WNK>

Good luck on the exam.
Must be hard to study with that siren calling your name.  Look forward to your review.

Between this and your Custom L-10 you own two very fine Larrivees.

Enjoy  :GRN>

What a pretty guitar. And I love the look of a cedar top, and I like the smell. But if you want my opinion..... i still think my gryphon can kick your gryphons -CENSORED-. ( god I got such a kick saying that ). Michael

I believe I already conceeded that point on your earlier post.  :GRN>

But, what my gryphon lacks in brute strength, it more than makes up in craftiness.  My gryphon would totally fight unfair...so it could be close

OK...so I had a long talk with Wendy Larrivee, and she seems to think that a Mother of pearl M-60, with a bloodwood bandana will shut you up flathead.

If you had the upper button inlayed, and a screw driver handy to move it into place after you tune...it could probably be done.  I was thinking more of a "Gryphon-AMBO"

I surrender !!!!!!!!! I may not be as crafty as your gryphon, but I'm crafty enough to know when I'm beaten. I had to save that picture of your gryphon, or gryphbo, or ramphon.  thanks that made my night..... Flathead................Oh, I agree the bloodwood would be perfect.

Glad I made your day...photoshop is an amazing thing isn't it?  I was even able to pull the gryphon hand over to the trigger and layer the "G-String" over the M-60...got to love the details.  Oh boy, what have I done.  I've hijacked my own thread.
