25Frankster, fellow chordian. I really like to help you, because I am a collector, better I was until 2006. I had real luck to buy those pearls. BUT: I 've got a nasty car accident back in 2000, started again working, got a nice amount of money, which helped me a lot of course.
Today, I still receive $$$$, but being an independent, I was "punished" by social security and taxes.
I am surfing a lot on the internet since I "had" to stop working as MD. So, all possible information about guitars I can find, I put it right here on CHORDIE. I have a topic about (it takes a lot of time to look it up and to compare) "cheap(er) acoustic and electric guitars.. I am living in Belgium, EUROPE, and at the moment our € is very high: we get 1400$ for 1000€. Advise: did you check the price of your dream guitar on eBay? I had fantastic opportunities to buy a few collectors guitars, play and collect. More and more people start to collect guitars. I remember the people laughing because you can not play on 2 guitars at the same time. I realise more and more that I was blessed to have this opportunity, and I really would love that everybody has such an opportunity. It is always better to save more money and get you a nice guitar, than buying one immediately. I don't know much about Larrivee, but I will look on a few sites as well on eBay.
