Proper procedure

Matthew is proving to be as much a stand-up sort of guy that his father is. Speaking for the entire Larrivee community: a sincere thanks to Matthew and Larrivee Guitars for great business ethics!

The dealer is an idiot for treating a customer that way, especially one who paid upfront for an expensive guitar. I think not giving him any more business is appropriate.

That dealer is what we in the UK might refer to as "an utter muppet"    ...a customer pays upfront for a high value guitar and he instead of nurturing him treats him like crap.  Hope you really enjoy your guitar when it arrives Ardon     ....and a pat on the back for Matthew stepping in personally to resolve something the dealer should have fixed.

I believe somethings are worth the wait, unless your losing money by not being in tune every weekend......thats why I play Larrivee.

Yeah, i should've kept the money until i received the guitar, but, well . . . cash sitting in an underwear drawer--shh don't tell any one about my safe--doesn't last all that long . . .

BTW.......I sell safes nationwide

[Ardon]

Ok let me clear something up here.

I did put twenty percent cash down. The rest was paid, again in cash over a couple of days, after I was told "it'll be here any day now"

I paid the rest before actual receivement because money kicking about in my *ahem* safe is asking to be spent.

Yes I should have been clearer in my statements, but truth be told, I was pissed. I wasn't being very objective in my writing.

I'm surprised the store required Payment in Full before you had the guitar in your hands. A security deposit should have been enough (even though your "safe" was... not). The store had the use of your money for what? 3 months? I just hope the guitar proves to be worth the wait; I'm sure it will be!

Pictures would be great!

G'morning  or lifestyle dependant

The guitar arrived at head office and was signed for at 10:36am yesterday morning.
It should make it to my dealer today.
If head office redirects as quickly as i was told that they do... sigh

perhaps pics tonight!

I can really appreciate your anticipation Arden.   While I had no "pre-payment" issues with my recent Bakersfield guitar, it was a 3 month wait....but absolutely worth it.   Again, Matthew stepped in with updates and in-process photos as they were working out the new rosewood fingerboard fabrication/ assembly issues.   

As others have said, Larrivee builds very high quality guitars at a very reasonable price and with a personal touch.   

We look forward to seeing photos of your new Larrivee
