Title: L 03 vs Gibson J-45
Post by: bifenwolf on March 03, 2012, 10:10:39 AM
Hola.....Just wondering if anyone has compaired the dementions/sound of the L03 and Gibson J-45?  I currently own an L03 and always wanted a J-45 and thinking.....ummm these two guitars appear very similar except for the finish.   :ph34r:

To very different beast.The Gibson is a Gibson and the Larrivee is a Larrivee.Having both will add a wonderful new colour to your tonal pallet.

  I played a newer J-45 recently that was more similar to an L than I had experienced recently. Newer Gibbys just are not consistent at all. But an older J-45 is a charmer. One of the best guitars ever made by anyone. YMMV
