Hi Tad,

I've started a new discussion in the technical area to talk about the Feiten system. I have moved pictures that were here, over to the new discussion.

Buzz Feiten Tuning System on my LS-05 (pictures)

See you there!

Beautiful guitar ST. The more I get to see and try different guitars, the more I find that the LS size is most to my liking. I would very much like a 14 fret version to go with my forum guitar.
:nice guitar:

Hi Lawn Jockey,

I'd be all over an LS-10 if I could get one locally.

But here's a thought for you - I play my Larrivée  Classical (12 fret of course) but it has a Florentine cutaway, and the 12 frets to the body is not an issue.

Matt's CS-05 looks killer and I'd go for something like that in a heartbeat too.

Hey Matt - if you're reading this ...

Hi Lawn Jockey,

I didn't really finish that thought.  Weren't there some Forum III's with cutaways?

There was an option for a cutaway on the F3s. There was a F3 mahogany with cutaway FS just a little while ago. That LSV-09 was around for a LONG time - I remember agonizing about that over the F3 last December. There is still maybe an LSV-05 available here -  http://www.retroguitar.com/larlvtop.JPG   .  Tad
Bunch of Larrivees - all good -
and a wife that still puts up with me, which is the best -

I have a hogtop cutaway FIII.  I seem to recall two hogtop cutaways ordered....but I'm not certain that number is correct.  There ought to be an archived thread that lists all the orders....that would show how many cutaways were ordered.
Larrivee 00-70 
Gibson Advanced Jumbo  - J-185 - J200 Jr.
 National Resophonics  M1 Tricone
 Eastman MD-904 - DGM-1

Congrats ST, very nice guitar.  I'll bet she sounds as good as she looks, and she looks  :ph34r:

Little Update - Gig Report.

I had the LS-05 out for a gig on Friday night.  I was playing with a fellow who has a lovely L-09 Sitka/Indian Rosewood.  The two guitars looked almost like twins, from the audience, but mine was noticeably smaller. Funny that you could actually see that at a distance.

I don't do a good job of describing tone, but I can tell you that the two guitars had distinctly different voices but blended together well.

Apparently we made an L of a pair.

One minor glitch - I had to do some tweaking with the EQ because the LS-05 had a tonne of low end. It caught me by surprise as it just roared at times. I had my L-sized Maple Morgan at the same venue last night and it was more controlled in this aspect. I'll be spending some quality time with the pickup/mic/blender to get that sorted out before I head out tonight.
