Title: Just Opened The Box
Post by: spinrider2000 on June 01, 2005, 08:44:18 PM
thirty minutes ago on a L-03r. This is a sight unseen buy through comments from this forum. Let me say a big thanks. I have a very worn in Seagull M6 that has been played and sounds great, you know part of the family. When I opened the box, tuned the elixirs, and hit some chords, I immediately shook my head YES. I since where this guitar is going. I will wear in this L-03r to be my next family member. Like I said, what has been said on the postings is true and proven to me. A big thanks, spinrider2000,,,,,,,,going back to play a little to prove myself right.

Welcome to the L-03R club! I have had mine since Oct. It will get better and better. Evertytime I pick mine up I am still so impressed with it's verastilitry and overall balance. If I could only own one guitar, this would probably be it. Luckily, I am not limited to one. (thats my wife sighing in the background)  :lol:

New guitars require pictures and donuts!

just got back. I have never been one for playing more than one guitar. I will probably sell my Seagull. Just doesnt seem right to have one just sit in the case....but I am willing to change. Do not know yet about the Elixir strings,,never have used them.  Just happy to be an owner. Thought seriously about the OM for the size but the L is lighter and easier to handle than the M6. As far as volume, kids had to shut the door. Give me an idea as to what it will sound like in about 5 years!

Congrats!

I see your point about not wanting the M6 to sit unplayed.  As you can see, I have both a spruce/rosewood and a spruce/mahogany dread.  I keep them both out on stands in my music room and find that, while I play the rosewood Larrivée much more often, I also love to pick up the M6 for certain songs and playing styles (and often just for a change).  I, too, have thought of selling my M6, but I'm sure I would miss it.

yes jmhyer, I tend to play one guitar and grow with the sound from the one instrument. that is why I am say it takes a lot for me to change and this is the time. I have bought a few wannabees but have always gone back. the seagull is a great guitar for a beginner and just want it to be used......how much will the sound change over time with these Larrivees? thanks

The -03R club whether it's the L, D or OM, seems to be a popular place.  It's always the right choice.  Congrats.  Post some pics, show off some of that beautiful rosewood.
