Title: Your Heritage For A Larrivee?
Post by: jimmyd on December 28, 2004, 11:46:10 AM
Would you give up your heritage for a Larrivee? I did. That is I traded my Heritage 535 for a D03R.  :)  Just had to have another sound to add to Mahogany and Blackwood. Been playing a D03R in a local store and just got hooked on it.
Thank you Jason, (guitarcrazy), for working out a really good deal. I should have the new Larry in a couple of days and will post a review ASAP.

Agreed. Heritage does make great instruments at great prices. Thats pretty cool that you have access to the factory being so close. I've had this one for a year and didn't have 30 minutes of playing time on it. I hope Jason enjoys playing it for awhile before he puts it back on the market.

I like the Eagles... because they're all Mahogany.

Mine has some nice factory upgrades.

Would you give up a lasting Harmony for a Larrivee? Sure....how 'bout a $50 1968 Harmony archtop, anyone? Trade?

Thanks Jimmy for the good deal as well.  I have been wanting a Heritage for a while, so it worked out for both of us! :)   Now I just have to remember how to play electric again.....

Heritage guitars are fine instruments, but I have trouble thinking of a brand with worse resale value.  If you buy one to keep, great.  If you ever try to sell, get ready to take a loss.  If you can trade a Heritage for a Larrivee I would not hesitate.

As a Canadian, I feel they are my heritage.  B)
