The Beginning
[url=http://www.larriveeforum.com/smf/index.php?topic=23989.msg210989#msg210989]Orphaned Larris What If...[/url]
Since many Forum-ites and Larri-loyalists lament the fact that there are orphaned Larri-models...
(i.e. OOs, OMVs) as in out-of-production models...
What if enough Forum-ites commission Mr. Jean Claude Larrivee himself & his sons to produce... a Special Order batch for a discontinued model...
say through 12th Fret, Guitar Adoptions, Notable, Trinity... as distributors - that just about covers the continent and both sides of the border.
We'll stick to the RW-Spruce and HOG-Spruce variety only.
Please keep your comments brief - (1) specify Larri-MODEL ONLY you wish to order.... (2) Yes or No - do you think this is possible?
ricky
SERIOUSLY... I guess this is a survey / vote ===> so we can have our dream most cherished Larri to own... or you can tell me if I'm on GAS-delusion?
