I'm not familiar with older Larrivee electrics, but would like to learn more about them.  Can you post some pics?

Welcome to the forum.

Became a Shooting Star when I got my 1st guitar.
Back in '66, I was 13 and that was my fix.
Still shooting for stardom after all this time.
If I never make it, I'll still be fine.

Might wait for (and hope) a couple other folks chime in. Canyon Mike is one who seems to know a lot about older Larrivee electrics. Also, maybe Ducktrapper, and Andrew (Joycefrom NS), etc.

pics are worth thousands of words (so some-one once said).
"Senior" member means "old" right?
Like over 50?

Too many guitars to list here.
Too few brain cells to be bothered with...

I give 50% odds the OP never responds again.  Just a gut feeling.  Hope I'm wrong.

Not sure what's in your gut but the OP was last logged on last night. So I'll take them odds.

Regardless!

Here's mine from 1983   :blush:

That's lovely, Andrew!

What's the 335 style sitting next to it? Looks like an '80's style tailpiece (from a Lucille model).

That would be a 1978 Gibson ES 347 I gifted to my brother a number of years ago that I sadly inherited last year

I stand corrected, although he hasn't actually posted yet.  Was hoping he would provide some pictures in an additional post or two.

I don't think he has a Pic of an RS-3 to post.

Just to add some clarity to those who are somewhat unfamiliar with the "80's" Larrivee Electrics:

RS =  "Strat" style neck through
LS =  "Strat" style bolt on
RT = "Tele" style neck through
LT = "Tele" style bolt on
RB = "Bass" with neck through
LB = "Bass" with bolt on

The "R" denotes neck through, while the "L" denotes bolt on.   The "S" is a "Strat" style, "T" is a "Tele" and "B" is a 'Bass".

Pickup configurations for the guitars are denoted as follows;

1 - single humbucker
2 - double humbuckers
3 - three single coils
4 - two single coils plus a humbucker

C = Carve top
M = Maple cap

I have a few as well, LT's, LS', but my fave is this one, for historical reasons,
and also for the carved Maple cap. (CM

The only RS-3 on the web is Janne Schaffer's  and it a flat body not a C or CM.
