Had a few out the other day and took a picture. Still a few I would like to add, but mostly content.

I polished the back sense this picture was taken. The swish swish sound drove me nuts....

Well, I work in a body shop so I took it to work and used the 3m compound I use on the cars. Only problem I ran into was that Larrivee does not sand the wood in a fine enough grit to make a really great looking polished back. You can see A LOT of sanding marks under the clear. I will snap a picture tommorow of the back as it is now. It is shiney. I need to do a bit more work to it though.

A very nicely balanced collection...you have all the bases covered there...12string...dread.... small body.... and electric.

Very nice indeed.... :nana_guitar

Thanks Blue. There are a few changes I want to make. I am selling the Ibanez to fund a strat or telecaster. Selling the Alvarez to fund a Guild or Taylor 12. Larrivee and Martin are keepers. :thumb

Definitely smart moves...I tried a Guilds Jumbo rosewood 12 string the other day...an F512? Somehting like that...it rattled the windows!!! Oh, and get a Tele...I love Teles!!! unclrob would agree with me on that one for sure.
