FOR SALE: 2006 Larrivee OM-03R w/ bone saddle      BRAND NEW

Hello Everyone, here's the deal I JUST GOT THIS GUITAR. I haven't had it for a month, I also haven't played more then 10 times. I bought it and then 2 weeks later found out that my new born son has a brain tumor. I'm selling this guitar to help pay for ALL the Hopital bills.

I LOVE THIS GUITAR.....
It is the best guitar I've ever owned, BUT I can't possible keep it with all the money I ALREADY owe the hospital and my son has a LONG way to go still and I have NO money to pay the bills with and I know that selling this guitar isn't gonna pay OFF the bills, BUT ever little bit helps.

I can get pictures of the guitar. I don't own a Digi so I'll have to borrow one from somebody, BUT I can get you pics upon request.

As for the price I pay'd $840 for her and would like to get something close to that, BUT PLEASE feel free to make me an offer!!

Thank You ALL

So sorry to hear about that....hope your newborn is doing well.  Sure puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
Wow, I just noticed you are in Flint.    I'll tell you what busker, if noone else can help you out and you can't get a reasonable price on Ebay, maybe I can buy it from you until you can buy it back (if that's something you'd be interested in.)   I'm not exactly flush right now either, but it's only money.  I'm in Midland and we could just meet so it wouldn't have to be shipped.
Keep me posted.   

You can borrow my classical so you at least have something to play.  PM me if interested.  Sorry to hear about the little one.  You son is in my prayers.

Let me know where to send a  donation.

You're heart is in the right place. Prayers for your son and i am sure someone can come up with a loner so you can play some lullabies for him. 

I'm really sorry to hear about this.  I understand how bad the bills can be, too, as I just got home after four-months of hospital/nursing-home care.  If you can, see if you can find a social worker or someone at the hospital who might have some options and know of some programs to help that part of the struggle.  It can be tough to find someone willing to help, but I learned they do still exist.  I'm sorry I can't offer more, but hopefully both your child's health and the finances will greatly improve.

Thank You ALL SOOOO Much....

I appreciate the kind words and prayers MORE THEN YOU KNOW.

UNCLROB: I'm gonna set up a Pay-Pal account today because a couple guys have send me donations through paypal. I don't really know how paypal works, I've never used it before. OR if you want I can send you my address. I appreciate the offer


and to anyone offering a guitar for me to borrow, I'll let you know how the sale goes and I'll PROBABLY take you up on it. I have posted in the past that playing to my son at night is how I say goodnight to him. My wife reads him storys then I play guitar to him.

It's amazing how much love is out there for a fellow forum brother. It really makes you feel good to know that people out there care

Thank You Fro mThe Bottom Of My Heart......

given the situation, I'm going to give this a bump.....sounds like Jay needs to move this soon....

Absolutely correct. I work for a hospital company and we have a social worker in every hospital who can help people locate and obtain financial aid in that kind of situation. There are programs out there and the sooner you start looking for them, the better.

Busker...be sure to ask to talk to a social worker at the hospital. They can help. You have a lot to worry about so let them help you.

I forgot to add that the guitar comes with 2 extra Tusq saddles.

I would like to get $775 for it.

send me a message if your interested.

I NEED TO MOVE THIS GUITAR QUICK!!!!!!

Hi Busker,

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I am not trying to force anything here, but with your permission, I would like to add your son and your family to our church's prayer network. We have people all over the world that pray together. I am personally praying for your son and for your family. If you want to send some more details about your situation, or if you just need someone to talk to or even to vent your feelings too, please feel free to email me at: chuckbernal@charter.net. I know mere words sound hollow, but my concern is from the heart.

Chuck

BUMP

I tried, but have not figured out how to email Zach (Admin member).  Because this guitar needs to be sold yesterday, I'd ask if it could be mentioned somehow on some of the other links.   In the LARRIVEE link,   it is a Larrivee guitar...   In the Non-Guitar Section it is about his son and prayer.  I believe the only thing that can not be mentioned on these other two links is prices.

bump to the top.....

A very kind-hearted offer for a suffering young family.  I'm not religious, but my immediate impulse upon reading your offer was to tear up and think,"Bless you"...I am a mom, though, and nothing is more important to me than my son.

For an update on Busker's son and to make a donation go here:

I was unable to buy his guitar so it is still available...

This forum is the best and so are its members. I couldn't believe it when reading this post and it really renews my faith in people. I have been going through cancer with my dad and it's a big commitment not just financially but emotionally by all around you. It's great to get support even from "somewhat" strangers!

You guys are great!

Price Reduced : $725 with all the goodies. I have a Digi cam line'd up I jsut have to get my hands on it...

oh I want to help......from Malaysia, will be praying for your son..more info pls lestrouble@gmail.com oh yes i have paypal too...will consider giving as well. Phil 4:19

Is the OM-03R still for sale?  If so, I'll buy it. If its as you say its just what I'm looking for.

rhunterntc@yahoo.com

might want to send the seller an email....I'm guessing he's not hanging on here too much given his son's condition.....

This is all new to me. I'd love to send the seller an email but when I click the name I get a "hidden". How do I reach the person by email?

Thanx

Yes the guitar is still for sale.

You can email me at scarznstarz@comcast.net and we can figure everything out.

THANK YOU

click on the envelope under the name.....he's actually online right now, so it's probably mum....

Bumpity..    :rolleyes: bump

I HAVE PICTURES....

If your interested in seeing them email me at scarznstarz@comcast.net

I have someone interested in the guitar, BUT we haven't finalized the deal yet.

Hey Busker, I also have a guitar I'd consider loaning.  It's a 60's Kay mini jumbo steel string in mahogany with 1 7/8 neck.  If the neck doesn't scare you, I'd be happy to loan it to you for a while. Email me for pics.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your son.

Busker:

Just saw this thread for the first time.  Keep the faith...  I just past my 3 year point of remission from a bout with stage 3 colon cancer and two years of unemployment with a family of 6..now 7.  I understand the emotion and the financial drain that accompanies this disease.  I don't know if you are a family of faith but please put your trust in God during this time.  He is so able to do exceedingly and abundantly all that you ask.  I've seen and experienced it time and time again.

I've also personally experienced the generous prayerful and physical support of the good folks in this forum and others.  It is truly a blessing to receive from people that you don't even know.

Our family will keep your son and family in prayer.  If there is anything that I can do along what is identified in this thread, please contact me.

Blessings,
Mike

MJG, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS....

AND THANK EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HELPED MY FAMILY AND I.

As for the guitar I think I have it sold. The deal is worked out and I'm just waiting on the money order to come.

I wasn't on this forum but a few minutes and I just outright bought Busker's guitar sight unseen. I'm actually more of a Martin person but I've been hankering for a small body guitar to go with the D28 which is gosh awful big and gosh awful loud - too loud to play much in my condo. I truly respect and admire Jean Larrivee instruments and thanks Busker, it was a pleasure dealing with you. I'm really, really lookin forward to playing this one. I wish you the best, especially the little one, and as the saying goes, the money order is in the mail.

Well done, Handyman!  Enjoy the new guitar, its a good one.

Busker, I hope all goes well with your family.
