A Larrivee story

[Larriveeplayer67]

Gotta share a story with you.I've had my Larrivee D-03R for about a month and have tried a variety of strings and picks and really have found a great combo,but for some odd reason Iam  looking for another guitar.Any ideas/suggestions whats going on?

SOUNDS LIKE "GAS" TO ME.  :GRN> ^_^ :GRN>

Or got some extra money burning a hole in my pocket ^_^

[Fstpicker]

Yes. We all understand.

Sounds like your D-03R is lonely and needs a companion! Just be careful...this could be addictive!  ^_^ :WNK>

I think its a special covert spray Larrivee uses inside the body, and subtley wafts out as guitar is held and played, inducing the infamous GAS   
I'm doing a clinical study; please send your guitars for me to check out... :WNK>

I know, I have had my OM-03 for just 8 weeks (today) and I have been wanting a D-03R.  I figure I have to have a hog and a rosey in my collection.

Plus I am playing at a weekly bluegrass jam. This past Tuesday I got sandwiched by a Martin dread and Yamaha dread. I was drowned out!  On the other hand I moved to another room and another group of musicians where they were all playing quietly and I could hear my guitar enough to feel like I was contributing to the mix.  I think my OM sounded really good too, such tone.

I am saving up for one.  I got $230 saved so far. For now I am googling Larrivee D-03R and D03R more times than I care to admit.   ^_^

I'm GASING real bad for a 000-50TSB. As much as I hate getting rid of anything, let alone one of my guitars, I'm thinking of trading or selling one or two. Maybe the electrics?

Only thing Iam afraid is if I get a D-60 it will make my D-03R obsolete.

This March I ordered an L03 from Jim at Trinity Guitars. Great guitar, and I love it, but I was already planning the next TWO purchases before the L03 arrived.

Have not yet acted on either, because of indecision and lack of money. But this is definitely a sickness.

Don't get another D. If you really want another guitar, get an L or OM body. Go for variety, not repetition of the same thing.

Thanks!Cf!That's All I needed to hear!

I agree with Jim.  Keep the D-03R and add a smaller-bodied guitar with mahogany back and sides...  like an OM-03/OM-05/OM-50.  Or even better (blasphemy on this board, I know), a Santa Cruz OM/PW in mahogany!  :GRN>

For my part, I want a short-scale mahogany guitar.

Since, y'know, I just sold one six months ago.

GAS -- A disease for which there is no known cure. However, symptoms may be temporarily alleviated by Frequently Applied Retail Therapy. They are still trying to come up with an acronym for that.

Yea makes sense!But I want my dred to be better than a om cause I strum more than fingerstyle.

Get control over the situation while you still can or risk winding up like me where the GAS attack completely disrupts your ability to just sit back and enjoy some playing on what you already have.  :<>

Wise words. 

Someday I hope to live by them.
