Perhaps it's just me.
I've never been overly fond of the dread shape -- but I think that a dread (any dread) with a cutaway (any cutaway) looks particularly hideous.

Now Randy has something to aspire to.
I sort of like the dread with a Venetian cutaway. Florentine is a different story.

Beautiful looking braz on this dread...
I had been previously told that Rickey Thompson had the largest personal collection by a couple of the dealers.
re: my collection. its just a puddling... :WNK>
I'll leave it to each individal whether or not a cutway is for them. That being said, I've developed a fondness for the C cutaways even though I seldom play above the 12th fret.
Well I won't accept this assumption that this Rick guy has the largest Larrivée collection untill I see a number and some pictures.
In the meanwhile, IMHO Randy remains the man. :ph34r:
I have to admit, I like the pointed cutaway on most guitars, but on a dreadnought the only way to go is rounded for my taste. I quite like the looks of this one. I gather we aren't encouraged to talk prices, but would you expect to pay twice as much for this one as an Indian rosewood DV-09? I'm not in the market, but would be interested to know.

If I recall, the list markup for brazilian is $3k above and beyond the cost for EI rw.
I like.
One sweet Braz! :ph34r:
I'll take the indian and two other guitars please.
I dont really like a dreadnought wit hany cutaway and Its kinda weird how there trying to sell the larrivee by saying that there still very very "custom" or rather non factory made. I guess right now alot of people are buying from small time luthiers

not just you, Richard. I prefer a guitar with a nicely shaped waste. and once again I agree, that the cutaway further accentuates the clunky appearance of the dreadnaught shape.
I don't like cutaways of any shape or form. Don't like the way they look on any guitar. Just my prefference.
Of course I don't have the chops to play up the neck so I have no need....
isn't there a Corey Thompson that's in the sales chain somehwere as well? Brothers?
I bet the largest collection is owned by Jean Larrivee ^_^
Corey is Ricky's son.

Yeah, and they're all LEFTIES.
Hi Randy R
Thanks for the info. It looks like it sold, so the temptation is gone.

Maybe that's why he became a luthier... to finally be able to have all the guitars he wanted. ^_^
Wow, cedar top and Koa Parlor. The C-10 should be in a museum.
Jean really is an elf (with magic) if he can get to all the tops in both Vancouver and Oxnard! :WNK>
I sure would like to spend some time with a Brazilian one of these days...
