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

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

Emjaysmash · 03-03-2011, 08:36 AM

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.

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?

By the way, great looking guitar!

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.

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

my nephew has one and it sounds incredible.

Congratulations, Rob!!!

Gorgeous guitar. Even if you don't play it, she'll look good on a stand in the living room.

GTsetGO · 03-04-2011, 07:00 AM

thanks scott.

HollywoodQue · 03-04-2011, 07:06 AM

You only live once, so why not! Nice

GTsetGO · 03-18-2011, 08:04 AM

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.

Humpdebump · 03-20-2011, 07:02 PM

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.

hotreds · 03-20-2011, 08:41 PM

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

GTsetGO · 03-21-2011, 07:27 AM

smelly4tay · 03-21-2011, 08:45 AM
