I have no idea what's coming down the pipeline.  Do any of you?

A double cutaway 3/4 size parlor and a Dread with a cup holder in the side.

Please, tell me it's gonna be a Slot Head all Hog cup holder.

I'm really hoping they'll start selling the cutaways themselves too.  You know, like Dunkin' Donuts did with the donut holes  :donut :donut2

I don't think that hole is for holding a cup. Its a Cree/style soundhole! ;-)

One can hope for a custom shop version 2.0 announcement... now is about the time the rumors last spring had it becoming reality....

and the the figured oak L's seen here earlier should make a showing.

the custom shop would take care of everything i wish for.... a red sitka over madi LSV19 with flamed koa binding....

;-)

Thanks! I missed that one. They look cherry. Should be very bluesy, I know that oak was used on some of the old Stellas and this guy www.fraulini.com has been using it on his modern takes on the old ladder-braced guitars.

OK Jason. You got me wondering what suprise we have in store????  I'm guessing  revoiced traditional  guitars only because I'm guessing about the potential market for them.

I just read in the business section of the Montreal Gazette that Godin is planning a new electric archtop called the 5th Avenue. It will sell for about $500. Wouldn't we like to see a Larrivee archtop?

How about 12 fretters in the 03 series????  000-03?  SD-03?  Would that be sweet or what!  That or the return of the satin finish parlors!

Actually, I saw them working on some of them when I was at the factory a little over a year ago.  Matthew said they'd release them when they got it the way they wanted it.

A Larrivee acoustic archtop - that would be too sweeeeet!  They could offer one purely acoustic, another with a p/u built in.  Could they pull off an all-hog archtop???   :roll

interesting that Oak guitar............................i've played one and Oak is a killer tonewood.   Of course i love maple and Walnut as well.  all the stuff many of you don't want.

Can't wait for next years used guitars!
