New Purchase Larrivee LV-03RE

[RickMcDaniel]

Hi Guys,

I've been a lurker for about 6 months. Today, I bought my first Larrivee from Guitar Adoptions. It's a Larrivee LV-03RE. I'm really excited and will post pics when it arrives. But until then, here's a few

Let me be the first to congratulate you. I just put a deposit on an L-03R this morning. My first Larrivee too. There is something about the L's in rosewood isn't there ? HEre's some donuts 

[ryler]

Congratulations to both of you.  I love that anticipatory feeling of a new guitar coming my way.  I'm sure you'll love it.  Let us know when it arrives and what your thoughts are.

The L in sitka-rosewood is JCL's favorite combo. I like it better in a dread, and although I lack his expertise, he's been good enough to make a couple for me. GA ships quickly, should be there quickly. Looking forward to photos/sound clips.

What a great guitar....Oh yeah I may be a little biased, I too own one.

Ha Ha!  
Count me in. My L03R lefted post office yesterday and I hope it will get here next week.  I also have a LR Baggs iMix no-cut installed by the seller. Can't wait longer

  My first Larrivee was LV-O3R with bearclaw spruce. I sold it 2 years ago and have tried to get it back multiple times. (Even last week)

           JCL knows RW and spruce and that L body can't be beat.

Just make sure if you live in a cold climate that you allow it to adjust to your indoor temp.  It's getting pretty cold at night here in Michigan.

Yup, my big brother lives in Jackson and he e-mailed me about freezing his rear end off. Something like 20 or 20 below windchill factor I think.
We had our first freeze in our area and it froze some of the plants. But it didn't last long.

Good advice. Thanks.

I'm worried about the cold temperature too.  Here in Canada, forecast said that temperatures will range from -3F to -20F for next 5-7 days. 

How many hours should I leave the package unopened until I open the box? Are 6 hours enough?  This is my first time having a guitar shipped to me in winter.

[dermot]

leave the box alone until it's warmed up to room temp, then open the box, pull the case out, and leave the case alone until it's also warmed up to room temp, then crack the case a little and wait some more

then OPEN IT!!!!!!!

Cardboard is a great insulator, so is the case. I would remove the case from the box as soon as I brought it inside, then let it sit until it slowly warms up. How long is that? Well it depends on how cold it is outside and how long the box was exposed to that cold. Some people leave it overnight, myself about 6 to 8 hrs. If you have one of those temp devices that measure indoor and outdoor temperature take the case to a cold area like the garage, open the case and stick the outdoor pickup or probe inside the case, close it back up and bring it inside. Now you can monitor the temp inside the case. The next time you get a guitar in the winter you will have an idea how long it takes.
