Title: what was I thinking?????
Post by: fitness1 on January 14, 2006, 07:25:45 PM

In a strange twist of fate, a three way deal went south with a couple of forum members and was it ever a godsend. I don't know what part of my brain was lacking the day I decided I could let this one go. After playing it a bunch over the last three days or so, I've found it to have the best tone all the way up the neck of any instrument I have owned. With my really high tenor voice, I do a lot of capoing and this thing sounds so full. So glad things didn't work out.....

Which OM is it?

If you're like me, you sometimes don't know what you had till it's gone. THEN comes the dawn!! Too late. I sold a 1967 Gibson B45-12 back in 1988 or so. The first real guitar I ever owned. Bought it new in 1968. I'm still looking for it on ebay and other places.

Good for you!! That's the one that didn't get away.

Man- that's a nice guitar!
Is it just impossible to get a cedar top on a Larrivee these days?
I now play fingerstyle only and I am in love w/ my OM- wonderin' what cedar might offer for future fingerin'...

Glad it (didn't) workout! That has to be some of the tightest grain cedar I've seen.
