My first R4

[olrac]

Just picked up my first R4, she's a beauty, best 800 bucks I have ever spent!

[Tio Kimo]

Congrats! Beautiful top. What will you be playing her through?

[olrac]

1978 MusicMan RP112, Egnator Rebel20, vox night train, 1976 Hiwatt Dr103

Already have the bug for a P90 version!

[bacchus]

Very Nice, that is indeed a sexy top.  Great score, Im a little jealous.  Let us know how you like it when you have some time.

[Cybercanyon]

Wow!    Beautiful top.  Can't beat the price.  I am also jealous.

[olrac]

thanks!  

Can I identify date of manufacture from the serial number? its 107225.

This was purchased from a pawn shop, first time I've bought an instrument from one

You got a stupid good deal.  I cant believe someone pawned that for what was obviously less than 800$.  I need to go to more pawnshops.  Congrats again.

It's sorta magic when things happen like this.
Clearly you were meant to have the guitar, and it is a real beauty!

Be forwarned though, it's very difficult to go back to your other guitar(s) after playing this new acquisition through your rig.

congratulations!!   

[ducktrapper]

Well done. Yes, stupid good deal.

My guess is this was from autumn of 2009. Pickups likely Larrivee Gen 1's or 2's.

Thanks for the instructions emailed them just now.

Thanks for all the positive comments as well, I feel really lucky to have picked this deal up.

[Mikeymac]

Well done. Yes, stupid good deal.

Yes, I paid about 3x that for mine new (a lefty rootbeer burst just like yours). Seeing a lefty like that in a pawn shop would make my heart skip a few beats!

whoever the previous owner was he must of loved it because it is pristine. the root beer finish is really sweet. These guys really know how to build a guitar!

Yup still has the shipping foam on PUP selector. Good chance that baby never made it out of the case 

[olrac]

I have had for a few days now and I was hoping it would be a good guitar,  but  it isn't.......................



IT'S a F-ing AMAZING GUITAR!!!!!!
Hard to describe what it's like because it is so unique. Can't believe musicians aren't fighting to get one of them. didn't realize what a deal I got until having it in hand for a few days. I own a 1968 Lefty LP black Custom and this is right up there with it. Now for sure I need  a P-90 RS-4!


PS an extremely well made case as well!

[Mikeymac]

Glad you're diggin' it - one of the best production guitars on the market. But we Larrivee sniffers aren't surprised. 

[olrac]

My new (used) R2

[JOYCEfromNS]

Another nice guitar P90's to go with your RS4. Luvly, don't tell me you got this at a Pawn Shop too

[olrac]

No, lol  but picked it up at a pretty good price, at least I think so (485.00)

[zenith_inferno]

You do seem to have a knack for finding good deals on lefties. I'm sitting with another lefty rootbeer rs4, 107227. Must be related.
