Hi there.

Noticed this model for the first time yesterday and its image has been haunting me ever since. Have any of you ever seen one up close? Had a chance to play one? I'd love to know what you think.

A guy in Toronto bought one and was keeping a daily blog of his experience. Someone posted the link around here somewhere.

Yo, welcome to the Larrivee forum. I must warn you that you are 90% closer to buying a Larrivee now.

Later,
Hudman

Hudster, I think it's somewhere beyond a mere 90%... Man, what a beautiful guitar. Yikes.

Tycho, thanks for posting that link!

Just played one today.great FIT and FINISH,and NO SHARP FRETS.Very easy to play guitar with really nice note separation.The wider nut doesn't bother me and the neck has a nice round feel to it.Action from the is a bit high for my taste but a fingerstyle player will love it.Projects nicely and has a very balance smooth tone{not overly bassy,which I'm use to from rosewood}.As for the inlays,there nice but I could do without them.I'm not into bling.So if you get a chance run out and play one I think Larrivee has a homerun here. :GRN>

unclrob, just for my reference can you describe the LSV-11s tonal charateristics, volume compared to say a OM-09?
thanks :ph34r:

poki the tone is less compressed when played against an OM,very L like in volumn.This may be due to the large soundhole.

LS-03R please... or heck, even an 09 version (though I don't know what you'd call that for this short-scale guitar, since LS-09 is already taken for the regular scale regular soundhole type).

You could call it the LSV-911, but that designation is politically loaded, and emotionally loaded for some folks, too.

LSV-911....thats too funny.... ^_^ ^_^

your right though...considering the flak the recent movies about 9/11 are getting it may not be the best choice of names

cheers,

Blue
