It's not such poor compensation, on the whole. It's something you love. What most people get is just older. Youth is meant to be pissed away (or so I keep telling myself during weeping jags). Revel in that massive git stack! Put 'em all in a big pile on the livingroom floor and roll around in those fuckers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's what happens when you get old and your kids are grown and you live alone.) I used to have gas but funny thing, I dont get it any more. it's small compensation for giving up one's youth. but it beats a blank. oh- the 2 is silent. Didn't you sell 3 or 4 guitars last year? Impressive collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Queequeg Posted March 16, 2007 Members Share Posted March 16, 2007 I sold a gibson LG0, the CFM 00-15, a nylon yamaha, a johnson resonator, and a gretsch 6122jr, plus I gave away a little mitchell nyon. the sales financed the acquisition of larrivees 00-60 and P-09. all of this self indulgience is just a tad embarrassing and it is the reason I have not revealed the extent of my gratuitous consumption in the past.

Members Kap'n Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 I had a Larry D-05 for a couple of years and actually thought it less sensitive to humidity than many other guitars (I pretty much had the same ones in my sig at the time). Yep. My OM-05 is pretty rugged. Not that I've let it dry out. Conversely, I overhumidified it for years in the winter, without any ill effects. I think the braces are fairly thick on it, which may make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hammergjh Posted May 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 It was finally delivered yesterday to the acoustic guitar shop where I bought it from. 3 months after I initially brought it in for a problem. 3 {censored}ing months. It had to go back to Larrivee in Calif for the warranty repair and they didn't even cover it under warranty. Yay. Oh, I have no time to pick it up before Saturday.

Members Queequeg Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 3 months sounds pretty typical for turn-around time.Question is, did they repair it (albeit, @ your expense)? Or is it being returned to you "as is"?You know that old saying about an ounce of prevention...If you don't want to invest in a hygrometer and a humidifier, buy a laminate or a synthetic.

Nope, I paid. 125 bucks. I authorized the repair at my expense at the factory. As I stated earlier in this thread my Seagull never exhibited any humidity issues. Solid topped only, though.
