Ok I know the custom shop hasn't opened yet and that this type of thread has been posted before but I've been thinking about it and thought I'd start this thread.  If you could build your dream Larrivee guitar what would it be? Or, if you can afford it when the Custom shop opens up what will your order be?

Mine would be:

-An L-05

-Fully Gloss Finished Neck with 1 11/16ths nut

-BRW headstock overlay with Larrivee in pearl(no pearl boarder)

-Waverly tuners

-Bone Bridge Pins(ebony dots)

-All other aspects of the guitar would be the same as a typical L-05

I know it sounds a little boring but that really is what I would get.  So, what about you?

Stuco,
A couple weeks ago I would have been able to come up with something but not now.

I got my new OM-03MT on Tuesday and right now that is my dream Larrivee. I can't stop playing the darn thing :guitar, it just sounds that good.  Today I played my LV-19 :nana_guitar and my Guild  :nana_guitar and I just had to put them down and go back to the Hog top. I'm addicted :drool:

On a side note I ordered a new bone saddle from Bob Colosi today, so mid week I'll be putting that on and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of change there will be.  I already changed out the Cleartones for D'Addario EJ16's. When I lowered the action on Thursday the G string broke when I was tuning it back up so I figured what the hey.

I realize this is not the answer you were looking for but at the moment I am GASLESS :humour:

Yours sounds pretty cool to me. Even though the LV-19 is on the blingy side I love the simplicity of the MT

:cheers

A Brazialan J-10 with Adi top, and traditional series tuners.  Or a Braz D-60 with Adi top.

Well I almost have mine, I love my plain jane L-09 but if I could have it custom built, I would add only the Mucha Lady headstock inlay.

A satin larrivee with a cedar top and a rosewood back and sides.  I would do it in an OM shape......no bling, just beautiful woods.  Oh, and a 1 3/4" nut of course.

Mine would be a 000-03FM.
000 body, 12 fret neck, flamed maple sides and back, sitka top, satin finish, standard rounded paddle headstock, no pickguard. In other words, I'd like it to be exactly like my 03 blond maple parlor but bigger.

LV-05 in flamed maple w/sitka top. Not too much bling though... just beautifully crisp & clean in look AND sound.  ...maybe the eagle headstock inlay :drool:

LSV-11 slot-head with mahogany b/s and adirondak top.  No inlay or markers on the fretboard.  Yes, I think that would be the one for me.

Mine has already been built........

So has mine.  It's my Larrivée L-03 (mahogany, not sapele, and a 'tortis' pickguard, not 'clear') ... simple guitar for simple tastes ... it has the looks that I want and ... THAT SOUND !!!    :bgrin:

Same for me but it would be either mahogany or sapele back and sides.

my L-03 WL but full gloss finish, ebony tuners, ebony pins, bone nut to go along with the already bone saddle, D'addario PB 12s(EJ16)...love it as is, and i guess i could get a bone nut and some ebony tuners and pins and i would have it all!

but just kind of love it as is right now. but if i were gonna order my custom larry, i know she sounds simple, but is all i need in a go to guitar!
