Hi crew

I had gig couple weeks ago with Dado Topic,old school rocker from Croatia.
Any how,Dado had this beautiful guitar from Jean Larrive (steel strings),
I tried it and DIED
Jumbo body,tone like piano and SOFT ACTION like some Ibanez with 008

I've played Martin,Taylor,Takamine,Washburn,Yamaha etc,
but this is truly THE BEST acoustic guitar I've seen in my whole life.

Tho it costs around 3000-3500usd,Dado had many custom wishes.

Anyone tried one of Larrivee's guitars?

Me not, but I hope to do very soon after your post.
I'm very interested about acoustic guitars with low action and a good sound!

Ohh man,this is great sound and way too low action!!
And best thing was when he closed hole in the body with...hmm..dunno the name for it...pivot or som,
it still sounded sooo huge and great,hard to believe

This is what I offered to Dado for this guitar:
"Man,I'll clean your house,paint all your rooms,
do all garden work...and I'll give you some money too"

I tried some in a trip to USA, these are the guitars that sounds louder (there where martins, gibson, taylor etc at the shop) but also seem to be the more expensive ones. The "cheap" ones (usd 800) were not that confortable, more expensive ones has better materials and playabillity. I was looking for guitars sounding by theme self acoustically not for electronics. And remember I said louder, good sound is some kind of individual thing.
