Title: I went skiing this weekend......
Post by: Ponte on January 27, 2008, 04:27:09 PM
.....and took with me my new P-09 FM.
After being in the slopes, I went for a walk and took these pictures that I´m sure you´ll enjoy
Have fun.

 :+1: On the niceness factor, though some may cringe if it was out of the case in the cold!

Hi Mr LV
Indeed, and he´s a great blues player!!!!!!

I know what you mean, but I couldn´t resist it. Still played and sounded nice out there in the Pyrenees.
I guess this is my 100th post, what makes me......a Senior Member :guitar

Nice pictures and a  :nice guitar:


So which one of these should we use for a future GoTM??

They are all great but my favorite is the first one, third one would be my second choice. I like the ones with the coat around the guitar but I just think you need to see the full beauty of the instrument.

Yep, I agree.  I've conceded that I'll likely never get the honor myself  :wink:  I'll keep trying though....when I get my next Larrivee!

Congats on having the GOTM pic for Feb.  Cool pics and  :nice guitar: but I don't think I have the Cajones to take my acoustics out of the case in that weather, much less set them into those poses in the wilderness.

Thank you Brion and thank you Steve. It´s a privilege to have been chosen as GOTM :smile:

I´m sure you are right Brion, but I take my guitars with me wherever I travel, and sometimes I feel the urge to do this sort of thing.

So far (touch wood) nothing wrong has happenned to any of my guitars ( and I have had dozens and have photos of all of them in different set-ups).

Now that lots of those guitars have gone, to good homes I hope, I still enjoy them by looking at all those nice photos I´ve got. :arrow

Don't you just love those Larrivee forests? 

Haven't got any our way 'cause it's too wet but I'm told in certain parts Parlors just grow like mushrooms.  Especially after a new moon.  And, if you leave them to grow a little they mature into OM's.  Some say that in older age they actually fill out into SD's but few have seen that 'cause generally people can't resist the temptation to harvest them young.

I have to get down to the Pyrenees soon!   :wink:   :whistling:

Hi Hal
That´s a nice tale. You should develop it further.

Congratulations on GOTM, it is a real honor.   :nice guitar: I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Gorgeous Maple!

The grain on the back of your guitar is a major drooling factor! You've got a real gorgeous guitar too. And might I add like the others, I absolutely would not have the willies to take it out of the case in that weather and sit it on the bare ground like that. Congrats on GOTM.

This is a beautiful parlor guitar.  Does the maple back and sides make a bright projected tone?  Also doesn't the very low humidity in the pictures cause problems?     Pete

Hi Pete
Thank you for your comments
The very low humidity you mention, only made my boots wet :roll
Yes I´m very fortunate.
The guitar sounds extremely well despite my original disapointment when I got it ( I thought "is that it????, so small"). It has a sweet, BIG, resonator-like tone
Listen to the introduction of Dire Straits´ Knopfler Romeo and Juliet.
THAT is the tone
