Title: Larrivee 0-50
Post by: gtrplayer on June 22, 2007, 03:08:51 PM
Does anyone own a 0-50 and how does it compare to a parlor? There's one for sale on ebay.

O size is a parlor. What you basically have here is a P05 with a slot head, dart volute, pyramid bridge and herringbone binding. So a bit of an upgrade. Pretty sweet.

Nope, 00's and 000's are but I think the 0's in the Traditional series have 24"... just checked it at Guitar Adoptions too.  Bet they're sweet though...especially a sitka/hog 0-50... :drool: right Blue you hog addict!

I absolutely love my O-50, looks like an offspring of my SD-60. The scale on the O is the same as the parlor.
Blue is right, it is basically an upscale P-05. Mine is a sunburst, Jean does them himself. It is purely speculation on my part, but I am guessing he picks out the best to put the effort into. Many times there may be some cosmetic issues with a top which is why the sunburst is applied, but again my assumption is Jean would waste is time on a crummy sounding box.

Hello Gtrplayer

   I played an 0-50 at Long & McQuade a few weeks ago and loved it also.  I really liked the slotted peghead and pyramid bridge.  There was a 000-60 that was just huge sounding as well.  Go for it.

I'm trying to remember if the 0's and 00's also have a larger soundhole.  (I should know, since I have a 00, but I don't.)
