Does the Larrivee neck keep you playing Larrivees?

A very difficult subject that I'm reluctant to talk about ... I bought an L-09 Commemorative last year and it is more beautiful and articulate than any guitar I've ever owned. The boast of even tone is well deserved. But I find myself fighting with it to play and be comfortable with it. Action is low, intonation spot on, neck is smooth, etc. But I find myself playing my Recording King RO-16 and RP-06 a lot more - the RP-06 is a new model for RK, a 0 size perlor 12-fret slot-head and I'm playing the dickens out of that guitar. Both the RK's have great playability.

Being totally honest, I don't know if it's the guitar or me - I am a large man and can't hold a guitar on my lap like I used to as a skinny kid ... the RP-06 on the other hand is really nice for holding - unconventionally - by pinching the lower bout between my right thigh and upper arm ... I can hold it at about a 45 degree angle and it feels so resonant ... the L-09, because of it's size and I'm certain some because of its neck, just aren't comfy for me ... yet ... I'm determined to hang onto it until I've lost the weight (which is going very well, thank you) - I'd hate to sell it only to find out it was me and not the guitar.

Good Luck with that Friend!!!!! Certainly ups your chances of seeing more of your retirement.

I love the feel of classical guitars so the wide flatter neck of my L03 is a perfect fit for me. Almost purchased a Martin D15 but the neck just was not a good fit for me. Martin's new neck design on it's performance series guitars is very nice and is now being offered as an option on the classic D18 AND D28          ( D28p  D18p)
