You think this is hype? Or what.....

[Fergy07]

this guitar may have hyperbolic X-bracing.  it's one of a kind. :rolleyes:  I have ugly Sperzel tuners on my best electric and they work great for that. 

Larrivee D-19? = $1500
Cool road case = $500
$1,000 in maintenance =lucky tech
Capabilities for safe cold storage of 6 to 12 bottles in guitar case = Priceless

So are you saying for everything else, Visa?

roknroll... WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM MAN... you "dare" me to look it up on the website.... I HAVE... why do you think I am doing this? What are we in 8th grade? You "dare" me? What the #$%?

If you have something to teach me then go ahead. But don't make assumptions.

You talk about techies... look that is something I have had REALLY good and really BAD experiences with. You choose to drive a piece of crappy car... then you get the results of driving a crappy car... I don't... am I wrong... maybe in your eyes I am... but thank god this isn't a communist country or you might have me shot for spending money on SOMETHING I LOVE.

If you spend it in the right way... it will save you money on the long-run.

I travel with my some of my guitars a LOT! I use them everyday. I also travel with my tech. I need to know that they are PERFECT... understand me... I am not some eccentric freak... well maybe I am... but thats not the point. I am not out burning money into the wind... but if you want the best results... you have to put in the time and money to get them.

Do you do wood maintenance on yours 4 times a year? Do you keep yours in a temp controlled room? Do you know what I go through just to take care of the humidity?

I have maybe 80 to 100 grand in guitars and I choose to have mine taken care of in a certain way... so I spend a grand or so a year... if you had a nice car in you garage, wouldn't you keep it ship shape?

This isn't just another D10... it isn't.

Now the part I can't understand is... if you have Larrivees why is this irking you so?  Why does this piss you off? If there is a high value demand for high en Larrivees... great for you too... the value of yours goes up too.... why does this piss you off? WHY?

roknroll, are you the guy that sent me the letters calling me names on ebay? If you don't want it... just DON'T BUY IT... that simple.

sixpickn,

VERY FUNNY! VERY!

[billbfoot]

I certainly see both points to this discussion.  The part I'm confused about is that the seller, in two other auctions that have since ended, described himself as a "guitar tech" who was selling some pedals for "the guy (he) tech(s) for".  Now I'm really confused.  A guitar tech who has a (very expensive) guitar tech??? ^_^  I like the case, though.  Looks comfy.

I think this thread needs to be deleted......

This is America and if this guy wants to sell his guitar for $3k then so be it.  Who are we to say otherwise?  Frankly, it's none of our business. If you don't like the price, don't buy it.  If someone trolling ebay wants drop that much coin, then that's their deal.  This reminds me of that thread a few months back with that hog satin parlor that went for $1200 and a bunch of us got all bent out of shape and started making fun of the wining bidder. 

This is the Larrivee forum so of course we are going to discuss Larry's on ebay, but I think we should keep the conversation civil and keep out negative opinions to ourselves.  I'm just a humble member here, but in my opinion edac needs to watch his language and roknroll needs to calm down and worry about his own business.

Sorry to get all razzel frazzled over this guys, but what if some poor sap actually buys this guitar at this price point? I'd rather steer a potential buyer in the direction of a new D-10, and save him literally, thousands of dollars.

Obviously they are not a poor sap if they have $3k for a guitar. Honestly roknroll, how does it affect you if someone buys this?

Ok, my rant is over.  I am always keep my opinions to myself here, but I couldn't help myself today....Sorry :UND>

[ducktrapper]

Well, no one loves a nice Larry more than I do and if you can single handedly pump up the value on older ones, good for you, I guess. The market is likely to decide what it's worth though. Unfortunately or not.   

[roknroll]

nope, didn't write you once about your rubbish auction.  I've just been entertained by your auction on this forum.  Have you ever seen dumb and dumber?  Well if you have, then you know of the scene where they sell a dead parrot that had it's head ripped off, to a blind kid.  That's about the only way you will sell this guitar...if you sell it to a blind kid named petey.  lol

[sixpickn]

edac,

I am beginning to admire your passion for music and your guitars.  It's a very bold move to stand up in this forum and state your case the way you have.  I have yet to see someone resort to insults regarding an asking price of $10K for an Olsen or a Ryan etc, and I believe a new Martin costs less than some of the older ones :mellow:.  Ultimately the market will determine the current value of your D-10, and yes I'd love it if the perceived value of all Larrivee's went up!  Maybe if Eric Clapton played one.  I imagine yours is a great guitar.  I know this is a great and generally civil forum.  good luck with the sale.

[roknroll]

six pickin, get your head out of this guys arse for a moment. He's a cheap greasy used car salesman who is trying to make a buck off of hard working americans.  He's pulled the wool over most of your eyes with his BS rhetoric.  Why give a con man the benefit of the doubt?  Just laugh.

edac...explain this little doozy...

   
"NEW GUITAR EFFECTS PEDALS!!!

THE BEST OF THE BEST!

I am a guitar tech. This Wasabi Forward-Reverse Delay, is part of a collection of really amazing pedals the guy I tech for is selling. The reason is he always gets 4 at one time... and usually 2 end up in storage in a box and he only uses the stage and back up pedals.

THESE PEDALS ARE AWESOME!

These are some of the coolest and best pedals money can buy and you can get them today at a great price!

They are BRAND NEW and in the box. The were placed on my work bench when they arrived (as I always do) and I plugged them in once to make sure they worked... they have been in a cooled storage unit ever since (the storage is a dry storage too... don't worry about humidity).

I have to clear out stuff from time to time... and today... someone is going to really luck out!"

That's interesting, a guitar tech doesn't know how to maintain his own private collection of guitars?  Are those bad guitar techs you referred to actually yourself?  He's not just a conman, but he has multi-personalitys as well. Caught you in your own lie.

roknroll:

I just laughed so hard that boiling coffee... just wound up on the, computer, the wall... and almost everything in a 7 foot radius. One of my favorite movies... but do you NEED to call the auction rubbish?

billbfoot:

The ebay account isn't mine... the management company uses it for all the band gear. I am not the tech... but he does use the account too... the guy who actually posts everything on ebay is Michel.

sixpickin:

thanks... apreciated.

[edac]

DUDE... roknroll... WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME?>

WHAT THE HELL?

[roknroll]

edac, you don't have to be an FBI agent working in a forged documents lab to know these auctions are written all from the same person.  Same boisterous, flamboyant generic, non-sense writing that you write.  You come up with excuses just like any cornered rat would come up with.  You are more transparent than a ziploc bag.  I'm done going back and forth with you because it's a waste of time.  Good luck with your pitiful auction.  I didn't call you any names, I generalized you.  Typical, now you are trying to sound victimized.  Another cliched trait that is often found amongst con-men.

[edac]

Where do you get off calling me a rat?

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE ASK THE MODERATER TO STEP IN PLEASE!

Is this the way people get treated here?

WHY DO I PISS YOU OF SO MUCH?

If you don't want to discuss it like a civilized person... jsut please go away... and LEAVE ME ALONE.

Don't call me names... UNCOOL!

Looks like you are also a professional drummer....interesting.

[jankymutt]

I hope Zach sees this thread and deletes it because I think we're all tired of this drivel. 

[edac]

Like, I said... the ebay account isn't mine... I DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE... the management company uses it for all the band gear. I am not the tech... but he does use the account too... the guy who actually posts everything on ebay is Michel.

[roknroll]

Then why does your handwriting look exactly like every ebay auction in question?  What's the name of your band? Do you have a website?

[edac]

I TOLD YOU... I DON'T WRITE ON THAT THING MICHEL DOES!!!!!!

I AM SICK OF THIS roknroll... I DON'T GET WHY THIS GETS ON YOUR NERVES SO MUCH?

You call me names...

[roknroll]

What's the name of your band?

[edac]

I WILL GLADLY TELL THE MODERATOR>.. NOT YOU! I will also give the moderator pics and the number to call the Label or the Management company to verify....NOT YOU!

After you treat me that way, am I supposed to tell you who I am?

I really didn't expect this here.
