By the way I think this model being discontinued was a big bummer.
Well here is the new Larrivee! The last OMV60 out of the factory!!! (http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n163/wcsg/larriveeomv60sb.jpg)
I've done a few posts about how fantastic Larrivee has been about a Warrantee adjustment turning into a replacement. Later I'll have links below for "The rest of the Story"
Mr. Larrivee himself paints all of the Sunbursts. That's a 10 on the cool factor for me!

Here is Mr Larrivee and his son Mathew with my new Guitar! We are way up past 11 now !

Because they were literally doing a one up of a discontinued model they had no labels. So they gave me a special Anniversary signed label. We are waaaaayyy over 15 in the impress my socks off cool factor.

The wood is beautiful. Of course, it's a Larrivee.

The paint job is flawless. The fit and finish are fantastic.

I was offered a few options;
1) Herringbone or Abalone around the sound hole. I stuck with like original, Abalone.
2) Slot Head like original. Or, a standard head. Slot head, no question.
They also gave me quite an upgrade in plug in sound. Still, non evasive. Now I have Volume and Mix just inside the sound hole.
The case may be the new standard or something. It is quite an upgrade from the case I sent out a few short months ago. It's a beautiful case.

She plays pretty. I love the neck size, body size...... Perfect fit. Perfect guitar. What a company. Thanks Go Out to the Entire Larrivee Team. Special THANKS to Luke! He was fantastic at staying in touch through the whole process. He went the extra mile a few times.
Gonna go play!

BEAUTIFUL guitar!!! Customer support/service above and beyond. (Good one Gman. :bgrin:)
Just one more reason to buy Larrivee again, and again and again...
:niceguitar:
Ibisimon,
you're a lucky man! This instruments in your hands is something unique... and you can say: "It's all mine!!!" :arrow
Anyway I think all of us are lucky men... just for being Larrivèe owners! :nanadance
I love the way the paint is carried thru into the edge of the soundhole. I'd almost consider switching to a clear pickguard.

I'm a fingerpicker. I'm kinda kicking myself for not asking that they leave the pickguard off. I know, poor me! :smile:

If you are thinking of removing it, now is the time to do it, before the tan lines start setting in. They are fairly easy to remove and can always be reinstalled if you want.
GO AHEAD AND TEAR THAT SUCKER OFF OF THERE!
IMHO one of the best looking guitars I have seen. Perfect.
I already had a good feeling about Larrivees and the folks there. This only makes me feel even better, and BTW that is some great looking guitar you've got there. :bowdown:

NOOOOO way! Looks nice enough to stay. Fear of the unknown keeps me from poking at it.
That is really a beauty.
I'm gonna see if I can order up an imposter: LV-09 With herringbone edges, abalone soundhole, and sunburst. Standard head, of course. I also want the clear pickguard =)
What a wonderful guitar!!! Congratulations!!! :bowdown:
Whoooa, it's very nice!!! I agree on the case, it is nice, the only drawback is that walking around with it makes me feel like I'm going, Bling bling bling... :whistling: :roll
