Thread Name: Larrivee Parlor revisited
Subject: RE: Larrivee Parlor revisited
That Larrivee parlor I've just read about sure seems to be a lot of guitar for the money.The specs say it has a dovetailed neck joint. Since most acoustic guitars at some time are going to need a neck reset, I'm wondering what some of you folks think of the bolt-on neck.Years ago there was an arguement that a bolt-on just didn't sound as good as the dovetail joint, but that has sort of been de-bunked over the last 20+ years (maybe to a large part thanks to Taylor).It would seem that if sound were not hampered by the bolt-on,and it were easier to reset the neck(probably less expensive also )the bolt on might be the "way to go".What do you think Rick? jack
