Very, very nice! Congrats!

That sure has some very distinctive striping on the spruce top. More than my friend's SD-50.

Why yes it is, I had a spare 50's style sized to fit a Martin D-28 that fit perfectly.

where are the pics of the back and sides!?! are you trying to sell us short??

Just for you jk.



Thank you everyone for the kind words.
I just order the upgraded bronze tuners from Larrivee, they're beautiful with an antique like or "aged" quality and a lovely ivy etching and relief on the faceplate. As soon as I receive and install them I'll share a few pics.

Hey Mark,

Is the Larrivee store open for business? Is there a place to see optional items for upgrade?

I'd like to find out about getting a pickguard on my LSV-11. Does it alter the sound at all?

Greetings again danijoe,
Sorry I forgot to reply to this question in my previous post;

I'd like to find out about getting a pickguard on my LSV-11. Does it alter the sound at all?

I tend to think a pickguard probably does alter the sound somewhat. After all you are attaching a piece of plastic to a vibrating surface, so I believe it would hamper the top from vibrating a little. You'd probably be hard pressed to notice but some theories believe every little bit adds up.
Respectfully,
Mark
