She's a Keeper

I my last post (of over two months ago...ugh), I said I thought my new Larrivee was a keeper. I can now confirm that emphatically.

I've played it a lot, both at home and traveling. We've spent a lot of time at the river this summer, and it's made every trip with me. I've played it a *lot* there, including a number of fantastic campfire jams by the water. I wouldn't take it to salt water, but there's nothing better than playing by the bonfire, with the river a few feet away, and a million stars overhead.

I like everything about it. I like the feel and I like the sound. I like the subtle differences from the Martin. Not better, just a little different. Variety.

At home, I don't think it's stealing time from the Martin. I think I'm playing more guitar. The Larrivee is a gorgeous instrument, and I feel very fortunate to have such a pair of beauties.
