Title: Finally...I'm a Larrivee owner
Post by: rocketman on August 11, 2010, 04:16:59 AM
Well here I am ...it took about 2 years of deliberating but i finally pulled the trigger on a beautiful LV-03r. Everything I've wanted in an accoustic guitar...cutaway...rosewood...electronics...and with the new strings I just put on it sounds like angels singing  :tongue:
The only problem is my fingers are killing me cause i cant seem to put this thing down.
It seems to me there's some of doughnut tradition here so .....   :donut   :donut2   :coffee 
Cheers everyone

Under additional options (click it), it'll have browse, click it and choose the picture from your files you want to post but keep it under 600X800 or the file may be too large to post

The additional options button doesn't appear until you have 10 posts under your belt I'm afraid.

So tell us ( in separate posts):  What is your favorite style? Favorite players (other than Forum members)? Favorite color?   :coffee

OOO, nice bearclaw.  I never used to like it much, but that is really pretty.

The 60 seconds between posts can be annoying, eh?
