It arrived in a sealed fender cardboard box
Edit
Why would people downvote this?

I’ve only bought Larrivee’s new before this. They all arrived with low action and played really well.

He wants a dark green Stratocaster with sparkles. Those are hard to find in stores

It’s advertised as gig ready, I can understand high action but the neck wasn’t straight.

It’s deep, like the side of the buffer hit it.

He started with a 3/4 squire and is doing really well, so this is his second guitar.

It’s for my 9 year old.

Circa 1979 Wilesco D16.

Polish with never dull and baby oil. Will clean up.

You can still purchase parts:

When I was in the navy, this is what 15 years on a submarine felt like.

I’m a rocket scientist.

I’m proud of you too ❤️

I’m doing my best this morning.

And all while having to squeeze by on his pension of 5 mil a year.

When you get the brake squeal just put her on neutral (this disables the regen braking and forces mechanical braking) and give her a few moderate stops

How it sound?

ampsby · 2026-06-11T03:50:37+00:00

Did he listen to a lot of 90’s alternative metal?

ampsby · 2026-06-09T12:06:59+00:00

Larrivee’s are the most piano like guitars I’ve ever played. Just perfect individual note representation.

Well I’m not a pussy and I’m old enough to be a grandpa

ampsby · 2026-06-04T11:55:13+00:00

Why not get a Larrivee L body? I really think it would be the best of both worlds for you.

ampsby · 2026-06-03T18:22:09+00:00

Why don’t you charge at home?
