I just discovered the Larrivee forum. I am the new proud owner of a D10E. I only discovered Larrivees recently. I was close to buying a Martin when I picked up a Larrivee. Needless to say, I was blown away, and began looking for the Larrivee that best suited me. I absolutely love the D10, it is such a great sounding guitar. Has the easy playability of a fingerstyle guitar, but can still project when strummed. Came equipped with light Elixers, which sound great, but I will probably change to mediums when these wear out. Any advice?
welcome 247hoopsfan;
Congrats on landing a D-10. They are great sounding guitars....
After years of preferring PB strings, I've lately come to appreciate 80/20's. I can highly recommend D'Addario EXP12s which are coated, medium, 80/20's. last a long time -sound good ...
do you like donuts?
Welcome to the forum Hoops! Nice guitar. Go for the mediums. There's a good bunch of folks here. I'm all out of donuts, so here:

Congratulations and welcome to the Larrivee forum family here! I, too, was blown away by the Larrivee sound back in '97 when I first played one (a D-03)! I still love their unique sound that, I feel, is better than many of the other brands out there.

Not too big on donuts, but big on basketball. Basketball and guitars are my two diversions from the stress of life. I actually use D'addario strings on my other guitars, and plan on using mediums on the D10. I stopped by a Guitar Center today- they are moving and having "clearance sale." Picked up a Martin D45, marked down from $6699 to $5599. I can honestly say it couldn't touch my D10. I just wanted to see what a $6000 guitar was like. I kind of feel like I should just have a Martin in my collection, but I think I will stick with Larrivees. The 00028 Clapton sounds nice, but when I fingerpick my D10 it still sounds better to my ear. I haven't ever played OM Larrivees, so I guess that is one to look for.
All my friends that have seen my D10 say its the prettiest guitar they have ever seen. Who am I to argue?

OK,I will try to post pics. I might need my techno-savvy kids to help. Hey LP67, do you own a Krispy Kreme, or what? Those donuts look mighty good , even to a health-conscious hoopster like me!
This is a great forum by the way. Now I have to divide my time between this and benzworld.org, my other favorite forum. If any of you guitar guys have Mercedes, this is a great forum. Lots of help for DIY nuts like me.

Thanks for the link. I'll be seeing you over there. 1985 300D Turbo 565K
Ronmac, wow 565K on the diesel. Amazing. I had a 84 300D and put 225k on it till it got hit and totaled. Currently have and 88 300E with only 190k on it, and a 98 E320 with 55k. Have 2 300CE coupes in the fam as well, my son's cars (although I did pay for one, so I get driving rights). The old benzes ar built better. Go for a million miles! Plus, they are safe, sturdy transporters for our Larrivees!
