Perhaps it's just me.
I've never been overly fond of the dread shape -- but I think that a dread (any dread) with a cutaway (any cutaway) looks particularly hideous.

Now Randy has something to aspire to.

I sort of like the dread with a Venetian cutaway.  Florentine is a different story.

Beautiful looking braz on this dread...


I had been previously told that Rickey Thompson had the largest personal collection by a couple of the dealers.

re: my collection. its just a puddling...  :WNK>

I'll leave it to each individal whether or not a cutway is for them. That being said, I've developed a fondness for the C cutaways even though I seldom play above the 12th fret.

[Gemnoc]

Well I won't accept this assumption that this Rick guy has the largest Larrivée collection untill I see a number and some pictures.

In the meanwhile, IMHO Randy remains the man.

[cutaway]

    I have to admit,  I like the pointed cutaway on most guitars,  but on a dreadnought the only way to go is rounded for my taste.   I quite like the looks of this one.   I gather we aren't encouraged to talk prices,  but would you expect to pay twice as much for this one as an Indian rosewood DV-09?   I'm not in the market,  but would be interested to know.

If I recall, the list markup for brazilian is $3k above and beyond the cost for EI rw.

[IMCanadian]

I like.

[HangFire]

One sweet Braz!

[Calvin]

I'll take the indian and two other guitars please.

I dont really like a dreadnought wit hany cutaway and Its kinda weird how there trying to sell the larrivee by saying that there still very very "custom" or rather non factory made. I guess right now alot of people are buying from small time luthiers

not just you, Richard. I prefer a guitar with a nicely shaped waste. and once again I agree, that the cutaway further accentuates the clunky appearance of the dreadnaught shape.

[joxter]

I don't like cutaways of any shape or form.  Don't like the way they look on any guitar.  Just my prefference.

Of course I don't have the chops to play up the neck so I have no need....

[fitness1]

isn't there a Corey Thompson that's in the sales chain somehwere as well? Brothers?

[jimmyd]

I bet the largest collection is owned by Jean Larrivee  ^_^

[unclrob]

Corey is Ricky's son.

Yeah, and they're all LEFTIES.

[cutaway]

Hi Randy R

    Thanks for the info.  It looks like it sold,  so the temptation is gone. 

[Gemnoc]

Yeah, and they're all LEFTIES.

Maybe that's why he became a luthier... to finally be able to have all the guitars he wanted. ^_^
