i like the one you have now so much better. i much prefer the mahoghany to the rosewood b&s, and i love their clear pickguards over their ugly tortoise shell ones

mine is flamed maple back and sides not mahogany. And I love the tortoise pick guard although my clear one is sexy

Ive also always wanted to have Jean's wife to one of these headstock inlays for me (although I could never afford it)

cheap, yes

best tone imo? yes with the exception of some of the really pricey woods. i think it sounds better than rosewood, maple, cherry, bubinga, cocobolo, wenge, and most cedars. i have however played some cedars, walnuts, and one brazillian rosewood that i liked more.

all preference i think

Jean Larrivee can take three twigs, a bag of pubes, and a quart of midget feces and make it sound better than a Taylor

while looking for guitars, i found this... http://www.trinityguitars.com/steelstr/martin/d100.htm

that's just crazy looking. they're asking $109,999 for it. :shock:

Kahn · Unread post by **Kahn** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:19 am

do it

iha · Unread post by **iha** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:23 am

even if i had the money i wouldn't.

i'm looking on larrivee forums.. but it's all $2k +

the only guitar shop around me that carries them usually charges pretty close to retail, and i don't think they carry used guitars.. so although I could play some there, i'd probably be SOL finding a good deal.

patience. the deal will come

I dunno but that looks like a tiny guitar. If you want to play it unplugged I would go with one that has a bigger body.
