Title: New Larrivee owner here
Post by: Zingo on October 25, 2010, 10:17:04 AM
Hey guys. I just purchased my first Larrivee this weekend. It's a C-10 and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I'm glad I found this forum that I can use to learn more as there are not many people in West Texas who know about these guitars.

Welcome to the forum Zingo.   I'm sure you will enjoy your C-10 for years to come.    Pictures are very much appreciated here;  so, when you have 10 posts, you should post some pictures of your guitar for us all to admire.

ALRIGHT, WHO BLABBED?

I thought we had that secret contained and now another newbie finds out how good Larrivees are. Dang, can't keep a secret for nothin'!

Zingo, you're starting off at the top of the heap with that -10. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years and if you promise not to tell enyone else about Larris we'll let you in on the secret handshake.

Welcome to THE forum.

Hey guys,

One of the things I've noticed is that in pictures of other C-10s, the sticker inside the body has the model number written on it. Mine only says

Jean Larrivee Guitars, LTD
Vancouver
British Columbia
Canada

Is this due to my particular year or something?

Wow. Thanks so much for the info guys. I actually called the number on the Larrivee website and the guy gave me a production date of 2/7/97 from my serial number. I can't put this thing down.

Thanks so much for the welcome. I purchased it used from a store in Dallas. It apparently belonged to a lawyer who was selling off his collection. I'm very proud to own it.
