A Family Feud

[PortHueneme]

Some my extended family members

The Larrivee's



vs. The Gibsons

[Blue in VT]

 

Looks to me like the Gibsons have the advantage in age but the larris in beauty....

Nice Photos...what a great collection...

If they went into battle I'd give it to the larrivee's. The gibsons would lose thier Head (stocks).

Unless you have an amp, the electrics in the Gibson family are going to be the weakest links.

I'll give it to the Larrivee clan 
By the way -  s

Nice collection!  Do you have an equally impressive electric collection??

[inspector13]

Feuding of this type is sad and can be very serious  . I'm a counselor (quack) specializing in Gibby/Larri family conflict. You have a tough problem on your hands. I  think the only help for the conflict between the family's can come from inpatient care in my studio (I mean clinic). Keep in mind, this is long term treatment, so don't expect them home for a long time. Please send them to me without delay, we will talk about my fees later. Please also send several changes of strings for each.


Boy, I'm glad I stopped by the forum tonight.

The only all electric is the SG, I really play acoustic. The Gibson Blues King is awesome plugged in. The maple body really sounds great amplified. It is a better than average acoustic too, but the SD is the go to acoustic. The 12 string and the O have b-bands are are also very good acoustically. The J-50 is my best friend of 40 years though. The Gibson tenor uke is from 1926-27, the Larrivee concert uke is the latest addition.

Nice, I might be creating a feud with my D-03 and Tele 'cause the OMV and my Martin HD-28 are getting all the play now.

They are all beautiful guitars but the top on the twelve string really got my attention.

Very nice,

Balance. Beautiful.

I have an OM-2, which is about the same as an OM-3 (mine had mahogany back and sides)  It is the only acoustic that I have had for the last seven years and I never felt the need for another. I am about to get a parlor guitar for playing on the couch, but it is just a case of gas

I find my Om great for strumming and fingerstyle and it can hold its own playing with others..... but it is prettier than the dreads, so they tend to get jealous..... its the curves ya know!

Sweet collection of guitars there.

[ducktrapper]

I have a similar thing going on between Fender and Larrivée. Nice guitars, btw.

Port.....how does that SD burst sound?  I am salivating over that one!  Is she a bluegrass cannon?  More of a fingerstyle?  Just curious.  I'm a Larri boy when it comes to dreds and slope shoulders..........get tired of the purists who have to have a certain (cough, cough) brand for grassing.  How does that Larri sound in grassing circles?

Very, very nice guitar collection BTW.  That little burst parlor is a beauty.  Love the slot head.  Wish Jean would have made the 03 parlors with slot heads.

I have nothing but praise for my SD. When I strum bluegrass chords in a jam they all look for my amp. I have to be careful when playing it as easily drowns out my voice.
When singing I strum it with bare fingers, a pick is just too loud. Dreds are for picking and strumming, but I believe it is a great finger picking machine too. I play a few John Hurt tunes and the volume from the SD makes it easier to pick as a lighter touch is required. I am not alone in my love for the SD, every SD owner I have run across feels the same way. Mine is a rosewood (my preference), but I have heard a few mahoganys that were also awesome. If you can get used to the 12 fret fat neck I am sure you will be very happy.

The O was just too cute to pass up, look like an offspring from the SD.

   Beautiful collection, and family portrait!! My first guitar as a 12 year old was a Gibson, and I still have a weakness for them. Your Blues King is gorgeous!   Thanks for the pictures.

Very nice set of guitars!!! I like the J50 a lot (well I'm biased, fair enough, It reminds me my 12string... I'd really like to get my hands on a Larry 12er to hear what it sounds like...But here in France...It's a bit difficult!
