How do you like it?

thats funny Speenis, put that pic back up. I love my Larrivee. I have been taking these theory music classes in downtown chicago every week for the past 6 or so and today is our graduation. Our class of like 5 has to play in front of the whole school in this auditorium and I have about a minute and a half solo. This is the first time i've ever played infront of more that 100 people. And this is the first time that the Larrivee has left the home..so pretty damn excited.

I'm thinkin about puttin a pickup in, possibly a K&K mini. I've heard good things. Maybe gonna put some new bridge pins or something, cause its about time to change strings.

Looks great man congrats, I have the same guitar but with pickups. Just wait 6 months until it starts to open up, you are gonna love it even more (mine is only that old). Also, if you are interested, I tried the new elixir phosphor bronze on mine last week and they really let that thing sing with a big, punchy bass.

ok cool. I was wonderin about strings for this. I have a washburn dread that I always put d'addario phosphor mediums on and sounded great. But elixir phosphor may be the way to go. Light or Medium gauge?

I would stick with mediums on a dread. You will lose some of the volume/bass if you go down to lights.

I use medium/lights, but I've always used mediums and I must say I think I'll go back to mediums. Also, if elixir is a little pricey for you or you want to try something different, I've had great luck with Martin Bluegrass strings on this one too, even though they lose their punch after a week or so of consistent play.
