larrivee parlour

[haz478]

Hi there,

 

Just purchased a larrivee parlour guitar...great fun, but noticed this morning on the inside of the guitar on the upper bout a black patch about 3'' by 5'', looks like a very professional repair? or is it part of the design? (guitar purchased new) anybody seen anything like this before?

 

Thanks for any help

Jeez, now I gotta go look inside my guitar!

I heard about this over at the Larrivee Forum. You may want to ask over there - since I don't own a Larrivee (yet!) I don't know for sure. I've never noticed it in the store demos that I've tried.

 

FWIW, I think it may be the mounting point where the onboard electronics go, whether or not they eventually have the "barn door" cut out. It could be considered a good thing should you have an aftermarket B-Band installed, for example.

 

I know they do this for their L, D and OM models but I'd never heard of a parlor getting the same treatment though.

Thanks guys,

Yup, over on the larrivee forum thats exactly what they said it was........not a repair thank goodness. I can no happily get back to playing without the worry of the thing imploding on me!!!

 

Just as as useless footnote, tried the dadgad tuning for the first time tonight....wow.....this is going to be a fun learning curve!!!

Isn't that a great guitar? I have an older satin finish, mahogony back and sides, spruce top. It gets about as much play time as my other guitars. My wife likes the sound of it too.

oh its good alright.....cant put the damn thing down, now finding that

 

a) the other guitars dont have a look in and

b) the plectrums are now dusty

 

all I need now is a porch to sit on and a mate with a banjo and Im all set........
