DetroitBlues Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'd love to know how many Heritage Flatops were made and for how long. Basically I'm hoping the odds of me owning a Heritage acoustic flatop might be possible. Another question, did they make an archtop acoustic?
bolero Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 someone here said the acoustic bodies were made by Larrivee, necks in kalamazoo I have 2 Larrivee acoustics, and they are fantastic handmade guitars....I kept my L9 6-string over a Gibson J200 & a Martin D18

And yeah baby! I'm a big fan of Larrivee guitars.
H Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Another question, did they make an archtop acoustic? Big Bob has a Heritage archtop acoustic. I'm pretty sure it was a custom order though.

kbp810 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 That does indeed seem like a good price... they reference a repaired crack in the top though, I wish they had posted a decent picture showing the repair.
kidsmoke Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'm a longtime Larrivee owner, you should know you can find Larri's at good prices pretty easily. They don't tell much about the way the guitar is appointed, but a shop near me(Chicagoland) has solid sitka/mahogany Larrivees for less than 900 every day. Certainly, there is the Heritage neck/headstock, which is unique, and from a collector standpoint, the situation changes,but I thought you should know that even at that price, wonderful "non-cracked" Larri's are out there.
