Baritone From Larrivee?

[Peter Cree]

First of all, I love my Larrivee and think the company is being very responsive to the marketplace with it's 000 slotheads and slope D's etc.  maybe the most responsive company out there.

I have gotten a Baritone  cuban mahog b&s/ euro spruce top.  After 8 months in the dry southwest (it came from England) it's turned into a favorite.  29" scale, very comfy (one would think otherwise) that has an organ like sound and low growl that has made me love this instrument.

you don't see many around though custom luthiers build them.   I'd love to see a good baritone  in shops.  Think that ,if tried, the public would go nuts over them.   If anyone can try one or owns one, chime in, please.

Matt, what do you think?

Well, Hi Peter...(we just "spoke" via email last week--
Peter does some really artistic handling of guitar finishes!),
I, too, have been very curious about the baritone that will be produced by Sir Jean.  Never have played one, but the ones I have seen/heard played, I am GASsing for that sound!

Hi Naboz,

Yeah, that baritone sound is really something.  gigged with it for the first time last week and WOW................also had my trusty L.Parlour also.  Tuned in DADGAD that little sucker can really fill a room, especially doing celtic tunes.

I had four of the "painted" (custom finished) guitars behind me on stands and they brought in alot of people off the street here in Santa Fe.

From Baritone to Parlour.  different sounds/textures for the different tunes.

Would love to see a Larri. Baritone hanging on the shops walls.   that would get alot of peoples attention.

Has anyone heard when the anticipated release date is? I think I would try a larry-bari before I would consider one from a custom builder.  ;)

Jason (guitarcrazy) has one coming, ask him when it will be out, I forgot.

I'd love to try one. Until then, I'm content to be a baritone who plays a Larrivée.
