 :+1: Great reply JT.
One day I fall in love with my Hog back and sides Larrivees....... and then I play a Rosewood model and love that the same. They are like your  children. You love them all.
Bottom line for me is that Jean Larrivee makes darn fine guitars.

I've got one EIR :nice guitar:, one Sapele :nice guitar: and two Mahogany :nice guitar: :nice guitar:. I tend to lean toward Mahogany/Sapele but I love the EIR, too.
