In more ways than you could possible know !
You're killing me Steve! :nice guitar:
You must be in heaven right now! What a beautiful guitar. You are a very lucky man. Have they even built one with the upgrade option package yet?

I do not believe so, since those are add ons, they will be like a custom order.
:nice guitar:
WOW!
"Late April" cannot come soon enough!
Congratulations man!

I would love to have one like yours in a C body! Put in a good word for me?

So you didn't get the AMS top on yours?
Stunning!

Really nice.
So.. how does it sound?

Sweet! Nice to finally see details of all that inlay!
So, I kept the pickguard but I swapped out the tuners for GOTOH 510 delta gold w/ebony buttons. I am very pleased with the results. Since I will never sell this guitar, I do not care about change of value. But, I did keep the old ones. I will add picture later.
Seeing that purty guitar so close to the bricks gives me the willies. Just sayin'.

There is a cloth between the guitar and the bricks.
Wow!! That is an absolutely beautiful guitar. I'm sure it feels and sounds as good as it looks as well. Congratulations! :bowdown:
Steve, I want to come and live at your house for a while. What fun that would be! Your collection is incredible. :drool:
Spectacular!
Geez I go into a trance when I look at this beautiful pc. I could look at this all day long! :+1:
Did you get the new tuners installed?
Just looking for more photos. Still counting months. I suspect I am 2 months away (hopefully less) from getting it.
Some side and back shots as well, please.
Wow, that guitar must be worth more than my car! Absolutely gorgeous, but how many MPG does it get? Didn't I hear that Jean's wife does those headstock inlays? :donut2 :coffee :donut :coffee

Well, how many times have I suggested a forum get together. There's a few of you guys who could skip the hotel and stay here ..... pending Walkerwoman's approval. We could set up in my garage .... acoustic to electric ..... and if we got some good single malt, I am pretty sure the man would join us ..... :beer

Yes, Wendy is the artistic one. I have to say, with the exception of the group of seven guitar, I think that the one they did for us ... "The Princess" ... is the most incredible Larrivee I have ever seen, let alone owned. Pictures soon.

I was just talking to my wife about this earlier today. She asked, would we get to tour the factory? :bgrin: I said, of course!
I could bring a nice single malt. I would also bring #2 along for the ride.

How far up that scale do you rate the 50th? :winkin:
Which, btw, we are still waiting to hear... Has your finger gotten any better, I hope?

I have severe trigger fingers on my middle fingers and pinkys on both hands. Makes anything but very rudimentary strumming impossible. It is extremely difficult to hold strings down. Time will tell if this condition will improve. Thanks for the hopes for improvement. I am unhappy, but life gives lemons as well as chocolate bon bons.
WOW! Congratulations for the new family member! Astonishing guitar!

I had surgery to release trigger 48 hours ago after dealing with this for a year now.
Of course, right now I can't even hold a pencil, let alone a guitar, or write my name.
Occupational therapy and cortisone injections failed to provide relief for me, but I know others did well and recovered without surgery.
Good luck.
Steve, I hope you and Mark find total relief somehow so you can enjoy your guitars to the fullest :thumb

Hey Mark, sorry to hear about your trial. Hope you get back to playing soon]
Thank you, Ken and Lynn.
I expect to be playing guitar again by mi-May, if not before. Tonight I can take this ginormous bandage off & replace it with a much smaller one.
Stitches will come out a week from today.
I should have done this months ago, but I always think of surgery as a last resort, and by March, well, that's what it was.
First step is anti inflammatory meds. Next, steroid shots. Surgery will be final option.
