I just love this headstock logo!
I think we should ban together and ask Jean to do a Limited Edition with this on the headstock. :GRN>

Wow. I'm not normally a fan of fancy inlays (though I appreciate that Larrivee does them very well), that is awesome. What guitar's it from?

I had this same thought a few weeks ago as I was looking through all of your beautiful guitars. I would love to see this logo on a limited run with a nice vine on the 12th fret.
This is not just the coolest larrivee logos but one of the most tasteful headstock logos I have seen on any brand/builder.

it would even stand out more on an ebony overlay..
limited run ....... you ended up limited budget for it.......... :UND> :UND> :GRN>
Nice logo, I agree.
Nice way of advertising one of these for sale also, very subtle, good job.
Let me help you out. Dave has this guitar for sale on his site!! :SHK>
This is such a good idea. Okay Dave, what do we have to do???
oh my, I'd love to have a C-09 with that on the headstock...please bring back the C!
That's a nice one. I actually prefer the black headstocks outlined with silver and with Larrivée in silver. Very tasteful.

I agree with Duck. I only wish they were still the gloss finish. I think the satin finish on the headstock takes away from the looks
Thats why I suggested a limited edition with the JCL logo. I don't know that I would want Jean to switch all the guitars over to the old logo.
But a limited run with that JCL would be nice. (IMHO)
What is that nut material Duck?

Maybe a combonation of the old JCL logo with the silver border on a gloss finished ebony headstock overlay. That would make it truely unique. A blend of the old and new, perfect for a Forum guitar. :GRN>
I like the JCL as well Dave, and the lovely wood underneath it; I'm getting a little tired of the black ebony headstocks.
I love the busy wood grains of the lighter woods.... such as

How about a Wendy signature on the headstock? After all she is the queen of inlay at Larrivee.
I think when Larrivee grew to a larger market the previous trend of using nicely designed, even if small, inlays on the headstock was reduced greatly because from a marketing point of view you want people to know who made the guitar. That said, a small run of forum guitars would be nice with a unique inlay from Larrivee.

Great Billboard, Dave!
It's nice, but I like the traditional logo. You can spot it a mile away on a stage, don't you think? :GRN>
Well, I need binoculars!
Nothing like a little color on the screen to stir up the old GAS.

Its the regular graphtech TUSQ nut, its just got some sorta color stained onto it. My very first Larrivee (an OMV-05) had that same nut. It looked like that new.
I like it! My OM9 doesn't have a Larrivee signiture on the headstock (has a Flute player with the silver trim), so I guess I'm not so hung up on the name and would much rather have a Wendy special, than a plain Larrivee tag line. I do think it would look nicer if it was a little large, rotated 90 degrees and sat between the two rows of tuners.

Here's the headstock that was used recently on the L-09CE series.

uh oh...don't shoot me....but i really do not like that headstock inlay at all...the pics posted by ducktrapper and Randy R appeal to me much more...but that's only my opinion..

Wish I could get as good photos as you do Dave. (the photo on my web page is one of Dave's origonals for the guitar I bought thru him).
