ok, more than 10 years later And have played, got better, put it away...fallen on hard times, sold the sources for money to pay mortgage, got a job ... moved to south Carolina, bought a Taylor 210....the love of the music is constant. Been getting back at playing and have a good neighbor who has a couple Martin's, and a Taylor T5. Good to see rec.music.makers is still here for me ;-). Wonder how many of the folks from 10 years ago are still here ?
play on guys. Still dreaming of my Leaden....

When I started to try to learn to play this damned thing about 4 years
ago, I bought myself a cheap Sammick for about $70 -- NEW!
I promised myself that if I stuck to it for 6 months or so, i would buy
somehting better. Well, after 2.5 years, I bought a Larrivee Cs-09 at
Guitar Center and brought it home to find out that my wife had decided
to stay home with the kids and quit her job. (BTW, it was a great
decision, and I have 2 great kids as a result!) But the beautiful new
guitar was now a luxury I could not in good concience afford. Back to
GC per the 30 day return policy.
1.5 years later, adn last night, I finally bought my Larrivee L-05E.
VERY sweet. (Being at work sucks today, so since I can't play it, i
thought I would at least brag about it)
I have been hanging out in this group for the last 4 years, salivating
over your guitar stories, and now, i have one of my own. Can;t wait to
experience the breaking in of the Solid top, Love the smell of the
thing, can't wait to get home to play......ahhhh.....
So, thanks for all of the education and entertainment you have given me
over the years. Now maybe I won't be embarrassdd to attend a
"Gathering", (although my playing leaves me plenty to still be
embarrassed about!).
Finally, a question, I did not want the "Pre-amp" on the side of this
thing, but the price made it necessary for me to overlook this ($1000
for an L-05E, new). Now it has the B-band A6, which larrivee says is
special to them, and I like the sound of the approach (dual source,
"under saddle", and "soundboard" pickups blended), but I do not ahve an
amp, and am not particularly interested in plugging in soon, but i
wonder if the group has any experience, or opinions on this particular
set up?
RMMGA Rocks!!
Hey, odd thing -- a few minutes ago someone congratulated me on my new
Larivee, and said "Congrat's , those sound great plugged in"
Not sure if he meant they do NOT sound good NOT plugged in....hmmm I
think I take offense....I mean I did not buy an OVation here!!!!! ;)
