Leho-Larrivées: The real story?

[antaisce]

Hi,
I have come across several Lehos (designed by Larrivée) that to me were so much like an original Larrivée, that I was wondering what the whole story was all about. Maybe someone knows? What I have heard so far:

1. The guitars were designed by Jean (differences to Larrivée branded 02/03 ones except the headstock and binding?)
2. JCL helped setting up the factory environment in China to produce/assemble the Leho guitars there
3. Leho has stopped the production after a relatively short period of time

Any more info on this? The quality of these guitars is, as far as I have played them, was fantastic.

It was spoken about on the forum at the time, so it's worth searching on here. All I knew is pretty much what you said above and thus, they didn't interest me.

I don't find any more input. I would like to know why they stopped production and how many of them were made at all.
