Title: HELP: Larrivee A-33 versus Weber Absaroka
Post by: timacn on November 29, 2009, 09:05:42 AM

Help: I have a line on a Larrivee A-33 and a Weber Absaroka for just about the same price. I think the Larrivee looks nicer, but I have played neither mandolin.
(none around here to play)

I was wondering if any of you nice people have done a comparison of the two mandolins.

Any other information on the A-33 or comparisons with other mandolins (Breedloves, Rigels, Collings) that you could provide to me would be most appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

I am not much help for you friend as never had the opportunity to compare nor do I have one BUT I am yet to hear one comment on the A-33 that wasn't over-the-moon. Certainly trac one down before you opt for another. Like their guitars they are seemingly not on the Radar yet for the mainstream due to marketing IMHO.

Oh and :welcome: to an awesome Forum I am sure a few A33 owners will be weighing in.

Here's a recent 4 page thread on the A-33's. http://www.larriveeforum.com/smf/index.php?topic=28861.0

My son has a Breedlove and it's talked about in that thread. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM or e-mail and I'll try and help you out. They are awesome mandolins. period!
