Hey, I was wondering how many Walnut 03's were made last year (06) and who has one on the forum? I have an L-03 WL.
dennq,
I also have one of the L-03WL. I am not sure but I think they made 100 of the L bodies and 75 of the dreds. I love the tone of walnut guitars. :nana_guitar

Not sure about the dread but the L was 100. I tried one a few weeks back and was struck by the sound and the beauty of the wood. Walnut has that bass response usually associated with rosewood but has more of that woody tone with little in the way of overtones like mahogany. Very nice guitars. Congrats Dennis.
I have a beautiful walnut parlor from '06, but it's a P-09, does that count? :guitar
I own a L-03WL.
Fantastic guitars. The sound is hard to describe...I LIKE IT! :niceguitar:
I have a walnut OM from 1998. Amazing guitar, rosewoody but not quite. Mine has an Engelmann top.

I have a D-03wl. This is my first solid wood acoustic and i must say i am officially hooked . I have since played allot of different acoustics(every time i go by a music store i have to stop and play)and to my ear i haven't played anything that even comes close ! The craftsmanship and the voice is second to none !! I used to be a drummer until i bought a LARRIVEE !!! THANKS JEAN LARRIVEE :cheers and now i am G.a.s.s.ing for a L05 or a OM . I have some pics of my D-03wl that i would like to share but cant figure out how to post them :crying: so if someone can help i would be glad to share some pics !
You need to have a host like photobucket.com which is what I use.
You upload the pictures then you copy the IMG CODE and then paste it on your response.
Here is my little jewel, I just love the grain and the Walnut aroma is just wonderful.

If it sounds half as good as it looks.... :drool:...then Ruben got a good one...
Wow, that is some nice looking wood there buddy. Why no photo of the top though?
Thanks Denis. This guitar is loud and tight with very sweet mids and great highs.
The top is also great looking!

Ever tried it Chris? Very nice tonewood. Lots of bass but little in the way of overtones. NIce, very nice.
Ruben, that top looks like it's already darkened a bit? Is it just the light? Nice grain though...Jean's sitka is second to none IMO.

Nope...never had the pleasure...I due like the way you guys are descibing it....I also like the idea that it is a native wood and not (yet) endangered...an often overlooked trait in tone wood.
:cheers

I had also heard 75 of each body type..but who know? I have loved my DO3WL so far..sorry no pictures...maybe this weekend...but i'll have to say it looks sweet, and actually the top is a darker almost aged color...looks great!
Sweet looking guitar you have there dennq. :niceguitar:

Well I must say that out of my three acoustics, the walnut is my favorite tonewood. I am even thinking of selling my Koa Taylor. I just cant stop playing my Larry L-03WL.
