80's Larrivee Electrics cheap!

[GA-ME]

Saw these for sale when looking for something else on the Subway Guitars inventory list. No affiliation, but the price seemed pretty cheap for a Larrivee quality electric, even if they are the "pud puller" variety...

"Beautiful Canadian pud-puller's guitar. It was so well-made, I couldn't resist, even though we don't generally allow stuff like this in the store. These were a closeout: carved flame maple top, ebony fretboard. All the high-tech wanking accoutrements. Neck through. We've got 5 of these: metallic charcoal, white, red, black and rubyburst (shown). We might de-wankify them by losing the locking stuff and adding a Wilkinson bridge. These thing probably list for over $1000. $400. "

It's a good thing none of those are lefties - I'd have to have one! What a great deal for some of you guys!


Duck, are you paying attention?!

Always! The "Krammits" above the Larrivée may be interesting as well.

So, are those Larrys or are those Kramers?

The one pictured says Larrivee on the headstock - but it this webpage is 10 years old like Randy says, this is a moot conversation...

The gentleman from Subway guitars says he has not updated or even logged on to his webpage etc for 8 years. He went through the Larrivees he had pretty quick and doesn't intend to purchase any more. They were from a dealer when the old series was discontinued.

Right then. We've got that settled. Let's get back to important stuff like ... What kind of strap will make a left handed mandolin sound best?

I believe the hide for the strap should come from the left shoulder of the bovine...

I bought one of them. It was well used and reworked a bit. I have since sold it.

If I recall right, I was told that they were from a guitar school and used by students.

That may very well be the case. I talked to him yesterday, but after 8 years of running a guitar shop, id forget too. lol

[GA-ME]

Oh well, I seemed awfuly cheap for a guitar of that quality.
