Great job on this Matthew!

One suggestion, make the Larivée logo on each page of the site a hyperlink back to the home page.  Or just add a home button somewhere.

Nice ... This is new...

Thanks for the pointer.

I see a new bit of historical info experimental bolt on Larrivee's in the early 1980's

I took it today.  It truly is amazing to see how much work goes into one of these instruments.  I always thought that Larrivee's were a great deal but now I have a better appreciation for the craftmanship.

Looking forward to seeing the other tours.

Wow, that is a long tour, if you read everything.

Great job putting this together. Having toured the Vancouver plant I can see some differences in the work flow.

Works on the first page but then when you get into the flash section, it doesn't work anymore.

Awesome job, Matthew!!!  I really like the new website and the tour really demonstrates the family atmosphere of the Larrivee business.   :GRN>

Great tour!  What I missed, though, was the smell of the wood....   ^_^

I also didn't realize all of the steps involved in the process of building a Larrivee! Wow!

I now have a lot more respect and appreciation for all of the hard manual labor that went into making my Larrivee.

Thank you so much!

What a great tour! I can almost smell the wood...

I love the fit and finish of my OM-03 and now I know what goes into it.

Did the whole thing last night. Very well done. If it is possible, it made me appreciate my Larrivee's even more.

Very nice tour.  the best part is seeing Larrivees continuing efforts to innovate new ways to improve the quality of their guitars.
Kudo's to Larrivee :ph34r:
