My first all solid wood guitar! Kodak moment. I'm very pleased as I worked it down some more to 700 even. (Just arch the back and show a little skin. HA!) I gotta say, so far, its worth every penny. Its not my Martin HD35, but that will come someday. You know, when I have an income.
Now all I have to do is wear out these pieces of crap elixrs and put in some strings meant for a man, my medium D'addarios. Then we'll see the tone light up!

or you could just take the elixirs off before you break a string.......... don't want to get to used to those girlie strings.
Did I mention I play elixirs and do not consider myself feminine?

I've got a Larrivee DV-09. I've had it for about 4 years now. Got it a Guitar Center for $1000. Never thought I would spend that much on a guitar but I've never regreted it. I switch strings on it after I bought it but it didn't sound the same and I switched back to the Elixars. Anyway, have fun. It is an awesome guitar and IMO ranks right up there with Taylor and Martin.

I'm guessing this guy doesn't play elixirs:

My god, does anyone here have any desire do look anything like that? With your arms sticking out like that how do you reach around to wipe after going number two? Well, I guess by commanding the person in the adjacent stall to do it for you. Check out his bio, its hilarious. Alot of short sentences with monosyllabic words. " I was extremely popular in high school."

The nerve! I oughta throw him a beating.
Seriously though, the elixirs are starting to grow on me. Maybe I'll be a convert.

lol.............. I know short and sweet is good sometimes but I prefer to combine short medium and long sentances.
