She's a beauty Rob. :tu

Re: spoiling myself
 

i just hope i can learn to play well enough to give it justice.

Re: spoiling myself
 

Nice guitar...but didn't you put the cart before the horse...most people wouldn't spend that much dime to learn to play...just sayin

Re: spoiling myself
 

I like it Bro! Maybe you could serenade us one day!

Re: spoiling myself
 

nah. buy something that will last a lifetime.

no since in buying a $500 guitar to learn on (then buy something nicer later on) when you can get a $1300 one for $700 and learn on something quality. and never have to buy another one again.

Re: spoiling myself
 

Great idea in theory... but it's sort of like cigar accessories. Sure you've got a lighter, cutter, and traveldor, but that won't stop you from buying more, right?

:r

By the way, great looking guitar!

Re: spoiling myself
 

Nice guitar! Ive never played a Larrivee, but have heard good things about them. Sometimes paying a little more on something to learn on will give you the extra motivation to stick with it.

Re: spoiling myself
 

true. it's been that way with all my instruments. but i just want this one so that i can jam with my brother and nephew when we get together.

amen on the motivation. the wife will be pissed if i don't play it. :D

my nephew has one and it sounds incredible.

Re: spoiling myself
 

Congratulations, Rob!!! :tu
Gorgeous guitar. Even if you don't play it, she'll look good on a stand in the living room. :)

Re: spoiling myself
 

thanks scott.

Re: spoiling myself
 

You only live once, so why not! Nice

Re: spoiling myself
 

well, i guess the picture that i found online wasn't of the right guitar. but my brother was kind enough to send me pictures of my guitar now that it is in his hands.

Very nice, I'm getting an ESP electric from a work program. Never played, always wanted to so I figured why not, maybe my kids will get an interest when I get it.

Re: spoiling myself
 

For a minute I thought this said "soiling myself." Now I see that it's the same thing!

Re: spoiling myself
 

i figure i will do that since it will mean i am at home and not in bangla anymore/

Re: spoiling myself
 

very nice guitar!
