Thread Name: Guitar: Larrivee Pete Anderson - need opinions
Subject: RE: Larrivee Pete Anderson - need opinions
I haven't seen the Pete Anderson, but I have two Larrivees, one of them recently kidnapped by my younger son who refuses to return it. Rick Fielding borrowed it once or twice and then offered to buy it from me (before he found his "Woody"). That's evidence of approval. My other guitar was made by Grit Laskin, who was once an apprentice of Larrivee.
I think Larrivee makes some of the finest "production" guitars in North America. One of mine has Fishman aboard, but aside from testing it out here at home and deciding it was the best sounding (most natural) pickup I'd ever tried, I don't use it. Too old to change my ways, I guess.
