FINALLY got around to photographing one of my older Larrivee guitars...a CS-05 with a Victoria Label.  Serial number indicates it as a 1995 start date.  I have not had time to do any personal photos lately...but finally had time today.  Enjoy.....

Gloss it is!  When I found this guitar, I swear it had never been played.  I really like the aged look of the top, and it sounds great.  One of these days this winter, I need to play this sided by side with the FIII.  In the mean time, I do play the FIII the most.

Thanks for the compliments gang on the photos.  I love taking photos of guitars (not quite as much as playing them, though)

Matt, I was actually in your area 2-3 times this August - please, I know I must be whipped with some wet noodles  :crying:  I thought of you and remembered that you mentioned to me that you don't live too far from the NordRack during our lunch in Vancouver.

No excuses! Except that I tried to stay away from the Forum and contacting my friends here because I seem to be GAS-ing all the time and that was my way of coping.

Anyways, please email me your phone number - rickymapa@gmail.com - so I can call you - next time I drive Beth when she goes shopping there... hopefully one weekend before December?

Hey Matt,

Thank you for these stunning photographs.

Now how is it possible that you have this beautiful instrument that has absolutely no signs of a life outside its case?

Great to hear from you ST, and thanks to all the others on the compliments.

ST, I still ask that same question, there is one small ding on the top, but this thing was hanging in the used section of a local guitar store.  I took a double take, and said this has to be new.  The case is even brand new shape.  I have not had it long enough for it to see abuse.  My regular gigging guitar (taylor GS5 has plenty of marks).  I usually look for used guitars, so they come road ready, but this is one of the cleaner guitars I have.  It must have been hanging out somewhere, as the top has darkened.  14 years old, and it still looks new. Weird.

I am still keeping my eye out for one like yours, though!

Hope all is well up north!

Matt
