what a load of bollocks!! I have been playing a road worn 50s tele now for the best part of a year and i can say its proberly up there with some of the best guitars ive owned inclueding custom shop and vintage and as for the relicing ,yes it is a littl contrived but does this really matter because over the years its going to get more worn and this will happen in places that are personal to the players style you could just say its been given a head start.

Your rant about the shadows and lighting being fake is ridiculous! As a graphic designer working in ad agencies for 14 years I can tell you that not only is that common practice, it’s basically an unwritten law. 99% of the ads you see for ANYTHING are altered to give the best possible representation of the product. Be it airbrushing the pimples off a models face or adding / deleting highlights, shadows to a product, etc. Is it misrepresentation? Absolutely not. It’s creating a visually powerful element to support the product in the best possible way. Who gives a crap that the shadows are too long! ” Anyway, the point is that these are all very carefully and deliberately composed and exposed photographs. They know what they are doing. ” Well duh????

Comment on How I Broke My Larrivée by Raven5387

My LV 09 12RE cracked in almost the exact same place in January of 09! Unbelievable… I reported it to the dealer who sold me the guitar in September 08… told me it was new… turns out, it was manufactured in January of 04… it took me until the end of March to get a Return Authorization (RA#) number from Larrivee for an “Assessment”… I spent $65 to ship it to Larrivee where it sat for a month and a half with no word… apparantly Larrivee can’t afford a customer service telephone line, so I emailed them repeatedly with no response… I let the dealer know and he put me in touch with the national distributer, who must have finally got through… 2 months later, Larrivee denied warranty coverage blaming dehydration (when in doubt claim dehydration)… funny thing, my humidity gauge showed 55%, and none of my other guitars showed any signs of dehydration… however, they said they would fix the crack for $200… well, I figured who better to fix the crack than PaPa Larrivee, right?… wrong!!!… 4 months after I sent it off, and after all the aggravation of countless emails with no answer, I got it back… it now has more problems than when I sent it… the repair sticks out like a sore thumb… they attempted to refinish a 2 inch strip which is now “darker” than the rest of the top, and it has a bunch of surface dimples in the new finish… it looks like they removed the bridge and then crammed it back in, causing finish cracks around the bridge and deforming the top by the ends of the bridge… there is a nice big glop of glue dried to the inside back… the AST pickup doesn’t work now… only hums really loud… must have had the janitor attempt the repair… any way, Matthew Larrivee finally got back to me and graciously offered to remove the dried glue… all I have to do is ship it back to them… right… I found “Someone WHoknows” posting very interesting… I would love to hear more… I for one am disgusted and ready for action… a class action…
