Part of the life of a guitar store owner is to flirt with some brands. For many flirts, it's going nowhere, and you know it from the start. But in some cases, you're just waiting for the right moment. And the moment was just right with Larrivee: parting way with Taylor last year (no hard feeling, very nice people to work with, and they're right on one thing: too many dealers), we wanted to have a leading (and affordable) US made guitar in the store.
We start with two guitars from now on (but have far more on order, including the limited edition Austrian Red Spruce coming in September...) and are very pleased with tone and build quality.
