Never been, prolly never will, but love seeing the new stuff! What guesses, or better :wacko:, do you have about what Larrivee will unveil. If no inside info., what would you like to see? I'd like to a see an L-03 in sapele. What are my chances???
An 03 version of the LS-V11
Wow, JUST an L-03 in sapele?? your expecations are mighty low there, John. I hoping they bust out an all Brazillian OM...that's right, top brazillian, and sides,back...oh, and the neck brazzillian, headstock overlay, braces...maybe a little bit of koa in the rosette...CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS PEOPLE???!!??!
I'd love to see a 12 fret L03. While I'm dreaming I'd also like a slightly more shallow body along the lines of a Martin M series. And while I'm at it I like to see them sell Larrivee kits for us do it yourselfers.
I wish for a SD03 / SD03R / SD03K... selling against the mighty D15S in price, but way more flavors ;-)
& C's to comeback, a C19Vine perhaps
and just becuase i'm still thinking maple... an LV03 maple
i'd like to see a 14 fret 0 and or 00 guitars and hopefully the mandolins will finally make their debut
My money is on the Mandolin line starting to ship. An SD-03 would probably make me pry open my wallet...

An SD-03 or a 000-03 or 03R (short scale preferrably) would do it for me. Or like Crunchy Wacko said, an 03 version of the fingerstyle guitar. I'd take it without electronics and even without a cutaway. If not an 03 version, then at least, an 05. MMMmmmm...an LS-05 short scale! That would be sweet!
I have had this conversation with Dave at Guitar Adotptions and he pretty much made it clear that we won't see anything huge in the 03 series. I think in the 05 and up, anything goes.
A shortscale L-05 with quilted mahogany back and sides. Would be willing to try and SD-50, as well.
I'd be all over an L-03 maple.
Other top choices besides sitka would be nice, including cedar.
A D-60 in flamed maple.
Larrivee Banjos!

Larrivee Banjos!
With a cedar top? Way cool!! :GRN> :GRN> :rolleyes: ^_^
Given the 're-issue' craze in the rest of the industry, they could bring back the solid body electrics...

I'd like to see something like the 000-50 and 000-60 slot heads but better on my wallet.
How bout a slope-shouldered J-45 type? Like an Advanced Jumbo or a Santa Cruz Vintage Jumbo...in rosewood.

i think with the recent cut of the cutaways (no pun intented) for D and OM in the 3 series, and the lack of custom models would probably mean that it's not exactly efficient to produce too many different variations.
I really doubt there will be new body shape(s) (we have enough of those). I'd like to see the use of perhaps plain maple and cedar tops in their guitars (without the upcharge). I really really would want an LSV-05 with a cedar top (Perhaps short scale too). I like the spruce top ones, but I want something with a more piano like sound and less sparkle.
How about the offer of an L body with a 1 11/16' nut for those with smaller hands? For those who like Dread necks but want a little more comfort offerd by the L body.
it appears we've digressed from rumors to wish listing....
I guess we have to do something while we wait for the first hand news.. :UND>
the super-secret, hush-hush blockbuster debut @ NAMM this summer will be the Larrivee diatonic accordion.
dunno; jes' what I heard...
Diatonic? What part of the blackwood family is that? :WNK>
:ph34r:
How about a line of all solid wood guitars with great sound for a very good price! (wait, they already offer that).
But seriously, what about An all koa -09 series. I do not like the ornamintation on the -10 series, just the simple elegance of the 05 and 09.
I just recieved my invitation to the MIAC (NAMM equiv. in Canada) show and in the show package Larrivee announced they will have their mandos there!
:ph34r:
Awesome! I'd love to try one of their mandolins. I wonder if they will live up to their guitars. I wish they would release an -05 -09 in satin finish for a little discount. I like the satin but also like the abalone and higher grade woods, just a thought.
