PICS of Larry's new SD-50

No, you don't like the sound.  You LOVE the sound!   

  ok, you caught me.
I'm a guy. It's hard to say the L-word or make a commitment.

Maggie knows I love her 'cause of all the quality time I spend with her, right

I've noticed TWO more nice things about this SD-50.   
I put a capo at 4th fret to play and sing one of my songs and it sounds just great.
...better than any other guitar I've ever used the capo on.

On other guitars, 2nd or 3rd fret was as high as I ever went....'cause it seemed like I lost quality sound.

Also, I played a song that goes from E to E7.
On other guitars, it is hard to hear the difference. This SD-50 really articulates each note and I can really hear the difference. In the past I would play the song in D and use a capo because I got better sound using D and D7.

The commitment grows deeper

Thanks for the pix of the  slot head, they came out very nice. The tuners look great too. My LSV has pings I guess, cause they don't say shaller on em, but they are a very nice set so far. I have had some junky pings on other Larri's though.   Danny

The good news is the guitar stays in tune and the turners are not used much.

I may replace them someday.
A good start would be to replace the SMALL pegs with something BIGGER.

Does anyone know if that can be done ?

It can be done for sure. The level of difficulty may be more than you are willing to deal with. I disliked the Parlor small peg tuners. Stewart Macdonald has tuner knobs and they may have larger ones that could fit right on. Also you could call Larrivee and ask them if they know of a different set. Even Jason at Notable could help you.
             Waverly is one of the better known tuning machines. A set of six for slotted pegheads start at about $140 and go up from there.
              Knobs are cheap, they start at about $2.50 each and go up. But may not "drop in" and may be difficult to modify to the style on your guitar. Since I've never even seen a slotted head Larri I don't know. Danny
