2002 Larrivee D-03 BW x 2

If you gotta look..............   :rolleyes:

and cant wait..............     :wacko:..


Do what I did when my parlor came home....

Guitar in the Fedex truck  for two days.... temp at 30 - 35.
Opened the box in my unheated garage.    checked case temp.    same as air.   cracked open the case.   inserted a  thermometer. 
temp was  within   5 degs.    opened case .   all ok..

Put it all back ... guitar in case,    in box.   then took it into  the house for slow acclimation to "room' temps...   next day. overnight.

My .02....    rapid temp change  causes troubles when the wood expands faster than the finish,  or verse visa.    :rolleyes:

:mellow:
L-03 BlackWood..... "Pluck"
OM-03- MT Forum #14/17
F-III IS/Hog #63/78....SOLD
Seagull Artist Folk
Pono and Kanile'a Tenor Ukulele's
The real Day Sailer...1966 Day Sailer..the boat, not the person

All this talk about shipping and weather-checking and worrying about what's going to happen to my guitar makes me glad I bought a Rainsong!
Although I am wondering what my little Larrivee is going to look like when it arrives here tomorrow.
