This was posted at AGF. Looks like a Larrivee P-01 to me.

:+1: P-01 great pic. :thumb
I always said Larrivees' were out of this world!!!
Very cool picture!
GOTM candidate?
I wonder if he was able to take the guitar as carry-on, or if he had to check it as baggage.
:thumb awesome!
Time for Jean to jump on the marketing opportunity...
Way cool :thumb
Yep, P-01. Very cool shot.
Is it me or does that git look a little big to be a P :?

Yep it's you, check the size of his arm to his body
It's obviously taken with a fisheye lens. Looks like a P-01 or O-01 (can't measure the nut from here) No binding (including end block), straight bridge, ect.

I commented on the AGF that I thought it was a Larrivee L. Things do look bigger when they're out of this world. In my own defense... I must have really been tired, or... spaced out. :whistling:

I think that guitar's been up there for some time. I seem to remember some of the Russian cosmonauts playing on in some pics from about 5 years ago...

Somebody should pitch a new reality TV series: Guitars in Space....

I think it looks big because it was shot with a very wide lens, almost a 'fish-eye.' That exaggerates the foreground and shrinks the background....
Fun though!! NASA , etc chose much better this time than an Air Force toilet seat. :humour:
I'd say it's an L or OM-01 but I count only 12 frets to the body.

Look at the bridge. It has a straight bridge. Only the Parlors and 00 size have the straight bridge, bigger guitars have the Martin style bridge.
It's an early series Parlor.

Space distortion!
And that's a G chord he is playing.Wonder what the humidity is like inside the space station?

Who will takes odds on 45% RH? :humour: After all, that may be the most important piece of equipment on the whole project!

There is no end pin either. Does a P-01 come that way?

The one I saw recently at LA guitar Sales never had an end pin.

Yes, but so did other Larrivees from the same era. My late-90's L-05 has no end pin.
But this one is clearly a P-01. Only the -01 series had no binding, and I'm pretty sure that the P-01 was the only -01 series with 12 frets.

They keep it up around 65-70% if I recall correctly. High humidity keeps down static electricity, which is something you want to avoid inside what is basically a giant floating box of electronics folks are living in.
I was just listening to the radio and the topic of the Canadian-made guitar in the space station came up. Chris Hadfield will be in charge of the space station in 2013 and he's looking forward to the weightless jamming.

Well it's a two way battle of losses. To dry and a charge is built easily, but to damp and most metals (ie, Al) will produce a metal oxide layer which attracts water molecules. And you all know ... water + electronics = boom.
Just as wood is something that needs to be maintained in a fair RH range, so does electronics - and more so. During my last robotics competition, the 85% RH seems to show us :angry:
Hey Long, I like your, uh,,,signature. :tongue: :winkin:
What signature? :whistling:
awesome pic!

Yup
It's an 01 parlor, right? No binding? I'd love to be
there to play it!!!
I'd like to be there to hear it. I wonder how 0 gravitaion affects sound waves, if at all.

It makes Led Zeppelin sound like Simon and Garfunkel. :laughin: :winkin:
