Title: What the HECK
Post by: Walkerman on June 17, 2014, 02:54:34 PM
OK....so most of you guys know me, and as such you know that one of the first things I like to do to a new Larrivee is install a set of Colosi bridge pins.  Well, I have a new Larrivee, and a set of Colosi pins.  But, when I went to install them, I saw this......

So....where do the pins go?...................

Guess you'll have to tie on one ... and look for a square hole to fill with those round pins.    :laughin:

For reasons which cannot be mentioned, this guitar required a very particular appearance...... :beer

I think that JCL is getting back to his roots and re-aquainting himself with the classical world.  He's  doing some amazing headstock configurations, rosettes and such.  And he's always getting his hands on really great wood when he travels around the world.

If I get a Larrivee classical someday, I will want the "other" rosette...  :rolleye:

But yours is definitely a  :nice guitar:

Although I can appreciate the artistry of the rosette, it seems too christmasy for my taste.

I *love* the rosette.  Is Larrivee planning to make more of these? :?

The rosette looks like a Miguel Rodriguez copy:
