Hi Dave,
Hi
Dave, Hi
Dave,
Just thought I would let you know the following:
Hi
Dave,
Hey Dave. I just received my Larrivee P-03. Its a wonderful little guitar! I just wanted to thank you for the professional timely experience in ordering a guitar from you. It was a pleasure and my easiest guitar buying experience ever. THANK YOU!
Hi
Dave, II
wanted to take a couple minutes and write a review of my new (gently
used) National Resolectric Sunburst purchased through Dave's Wood stock
Music.
Added October 5, 2015 Hi
Dave, I
got the Legacy HB yesterday and it is spectacular!! The hard tail
sustains for days, very cool feature with single coil pups. The pickup
choices G&L uses match really well. The HB pup is great with the
Alnico singles. I
love the neck profile! From now on all G&Ls for me will have the #3
Wide C 1-11/16" neck. I had a really nice 1988 ASAT Leo Fender
signature, but the neck was always too small for me... now I know what
to ask for. Really, I kinda gambled on the neck, going by just the
1-11/16" nut... but the rest falls into place along with the nut.
Funny, its the only G&L neck with a 1-11/16" nut... kinda the
standard nut for Fender Strats for years, maybe they're just trying to
be different. Fit,
finish, playability, tone... man, I couldn't ask for more... And
thank you for your end of the deal. Its a pleasure doing business with
you. The PDF invoices are a great way to communicate
costs/quote/payments/paid in full. It
was also great to get the guitar in the actual box, as shipped from
G&L. It was way cool opening the box for the first time (try that
at Guitar Center... NOT...). It sill has this new smell to it. And it
was perfectly in tune as soon as I took it out, all I had to do was
plug in and play. I know some folks who de-tune guitars when they ship,
but I've never thought it was necessary myself. Thank
you for an excellent guitar, and thank G&L for making such awesome,
quality instruments. Combined with excellent dealers like yourself,
they get their quality stuff to folks like me the best way possible.
Thanks Dave !!! Jim

Dec 26, 2014 David,
I ordered a G&L Comanche from you last year in November. I received
it in December, and I must say, it is such a beautiful guitar! It
sounds superb and I absolutely love it. It's been gig tested quite a
few times already and it has lived up to the G&L name. Anyway, I
just wanted to say thanks! I will definitely recommend your website to
all. Brian

February 18, 2014 Hey
Dave, I thought I should let you know I picked up my G&L LB100
November 29. That was only 4 weeks from the time it was ordered it. I
only wish I had ordered my JB from you as well. That was my first
experience ordering an instrument on line and it was a nightmare.
You're the man. After a short visit on the phone with you I felt
relaxed and confident all would be well with my order. The LB 100
arrived in great shape, The fit, finish, fretwork and out of the box
setup was great, just a wee adjustment on the G and D strings and it
was ready to go. I am a fan of G&L basses. I own a Mahogany L1000 I
bought in 1980 or 81 ,a JB I acquired in 2009, and now an LB100.
G&L makes incredible instruments and I am really somewhat confused
as to why bass players in major recording and touring acts don't play
G&L basses. These basses quite simply blow Fenders out of the water
{ I own a couple of those too }. Are they afraid to step out of the
Fender box? The tone is AWESOME. This bass makes an American Standard P
Bass look and sound very sad. All the best in your new location. I
thank you for your professionalism. Cheers, Les

Dave, Hi
Dave! Hey
Dave- I just received the lefty Larrivee Bakersfield this afternoon.
Wow. I am blown away by the quality of this guitar! The fit and finish
is incredible for a guitar in this price range. The pickups and
hardware are top shelf, the feel of the neck is perfect, and it is very
light and resonant. It plays like a dream and sounds great. This is the
best T-style guiar I've ever owned, hands down. Thanks for the great
deal and fantastic service. Best wishes. just
wanna say how much i love my larrivee OMV-3RE. bought it a year
ago,have already earned my money back from gigs i played this guitar
at.also bought my ultrasound DS4 ,which i get lots of compliments
on.....looking to purchase another guitar soon,an investment.got any
suggestions?thanks ...john r. I
purchased a G&L ASAT Classic Custom in Himalayan Blue guitar from
David last Friday and Tues it was in my hands. Killer guitar built like
a guitar should be-like a tank. I love the high quality pics on the
site and the service is outstanding. I called with a few questions and
then ordered the guitar while on the phone. 10 MIN later the guitar
sale was processed and it was shipped that day. I love the selection of
high quality guitars -especially the G&L models in colors you dont
many other places. Thanks again -my wife has named our new guitar
'Baby' -i look forward to my next guitar adoption. Dave,
I got the amp on Thursday, and am very pleased with the complete
experience! The amp is fabulous, by the way. I sincerely appreciate you
going the extra mile to make this sweet deal. Our world today doesn't
see many businesses doing things the old fashioned way(ie-complete
customer satisfaction). It's usually take it or leave it. I will look
to you in the future as needs arise, and tell my fellow musicians of my
pleasent shopping experience with you. Hi
Dave,
I have had the Eastman EP20 now for a few weeks and it sounds wonderful. Just a little info for you : I have experimented with strings, and the light gauge coated strings from Elixir are the best sounding so far. But, here is the interesting thing. I put Aquila classical strings on to see what that sounded like. I have played classical guitar for nearly 60 years now and have owned some very high priced instruments over that time. This little parlor guitar sounds as good as the best, and better than most: that includes many high priced builders... But once I put the parlor guitar through my Fishman Loudbox Mini, it is absolute magic.
What a guitar !!!!
Just thought you might like to know that.
Have great year Dave, and thanks again for this beauty.

I'm writing to let you know just how pleased I am with the Larrivee D-40R I just purchased from you. I could go
on and on, but a killer guitar at at a killer price doesn't leave much
else to say. This purchase represents the term "true value" in a world
of overpriced, over-hyped guitars. Way to go- Dave's Woodstock Music
and Jean Larrivee.
Happy Customer,

1) I bought this guitar from you without ever playing it (Larrivee D-03RE Lefty), solely based on the reviews I have read and your recommendation.
2) I currently own a Martin J40 and a Gibson J100 Xtra custom made in their Montana custom shop.
Hands down, my new Larivee is the best sounding and most playable of the three!
Put me down as a huge new fan of Larivee guitars and Dave's Woodstock Music.
All the best,

First I want to compliment you on how awesome you handled the paperwork
and funding details. I love the PDF invoices. Having a receipt and info
on a letter-sized document, plus one I can store on my computer is
really great. I carry an insurance policy that covers all my guitars,
and its real handy to have this document as proof of value, plus the
pictures I took when I got the guitar. Not to mention the straight
forward way you do business. I have been a happy customer of yours for
a long time.
When the package arrived, my first impression was, "wow, this was
packed really well." My next was, "oh look, a cool National case too."
Then I opened the case and was just floored with how beautiful this
instrument is, it has a great flame maple top, and the most awesome,
gorgeous (add a few more cool positive words here) neck I have ever
seen on any instrument. Upon close inspection she doesn't have a ding,
scratch, or any kind of apparent use mark at all. The guitar looks like
it just came out of the factory to me,
Then I plugged it in. These Resolectrics have a 1-3/4" wide nut, so I
was a bit concerned how she would fit in my hand. But having played
guitar for 40 years, there was simply no problems there. In fact the
little extra bit of string spacing gives me a really great feel when
doing finger-style music. It has a Highlander pickup under the
resonator biscuit and a Lollar P-90 in the bridge. I found out later by
a quick email to National that according to the serial number, this one
was built in January of 2008. There are 3 knobs on the guitar,
highlander volume, P-90 volume and master volume. There is an entire
pallet of available tones with these combinations. The P-90 has a
slightly darker tone than the highlander, so you can set up a mix of
treble/bass that way even though it doesn't have a tone control.
Everything I play on the instrument sounds spectacular. From roots
blues, to finger-style jazz standards, to RUSH or classic rock, it will
do it all in my hands. I have a large selection of overdrive pedals and
they all take on new tones with the Resolectric. The highlander's
bright EQ makes some of them sound down right gritty like fuzz pedals.
This is and was a pleasant new tonal surprise. So many of my guitars
sound similar when overdriven, the Resolectric adds a unique new set of
tones. Again, ecstatic at this purchase.
Weight-wise I didn't know what to expect, as it had been a while since
I had played one in person, I couldn't remember if this was going to be
a heavy guitar or what... But she is very light. Upon investigating the
build process, they route out a large circle in the solid mahogany body
in order to place the resonator cone deep inside the body of the
guitar. The cone assembly is very light, so the guitar is (I am
guessing) around the 6lbs. mark if that.
I can't put this little beast down! I generally leave one guitar out by
my amp to enjoy instead of having to open the case every time, etc. I
did learn that the Highlander set up is battery powered, there is a
battery compartment on the back of the guitar behind the controls. I
installed two brand new Duracell 9v batteries as I didn't know how old
the batteries in the guitar were.
Its easily become my #1 guitar since the second I opened the case. I
have a lot of other guitars, Gibsons, Fenders, G&Ls (love my
G&Ls !!!), but they have been staying in their cases lately, maybe
a bit guitar-jealous that I have been enjoying the new Resolectric so
much, haha.
Great service, great products, as if the gods hand-picked this one
right out of heaven.
I couldn't be happier !!!

My daughter picked up the Eastman AC622CE that we talked about
yesterday. Dave, I’m 61 years old and not an emotional or a touchy
feely kind of guy. I feel compelled to tell you I am stunned. My go to
acoustic guitars are an older Gibson J180 from the Bozeman custom shop
and a newer Taylor 512CE. Big question now is when will these guitars
see the light of day again now that I’m playing this little gem you
sold me! You made me a believer! Can’t thank you or your other Dave
enough for the help and hope you both have a great Holiday. I will be
back to do business with you.
Sincerely,
John Kumm
I have received my G&L Fallout about two weeks ago; and, it is
perfect. Right out of the case, the set-up is spot-on. And, the vintage
tint with the black body and creme pick guard look even better in real
life than I had imagined it would. Every inch of the finish is perfect
as well. Well worth the wait!
I also find that the body shape of the Fallout/SC fits me very nicely
and I love the design of it.
The "slimming-down" of the headstock was a good move too, as it puts it
in more of a compatible scale with the smaller body (as compared to the
SC2). The pick guard is a big hit with me too; I only wish G&L
would design a similar pick guard for the SC2. Oh, and most
importantly, the tones that come out of this thing are exciting to say
the least. I still am getting to know my Fallout and it inspires me to
play more than I had been lately.....is it possible that a guitar could
be my muse?
In conclusion, I am 100% happy with my G&L Fallout and the
top-notch workmanship. The pride in their work shows; and, as long as
G&L keeps up this level of quality, I will remain a G&L
devotee!

Thanks for making my recent guitar buy a satisfying experience! It's
not always easy being a left-handed guitarist, and finding a lefty
guitar has often been an unwelcome challenge for me, at best. So when I
found myself in the market for a parlor guitar, I did a good bit of
research … online at eBay, on Craigslist, in music stores and their
Internet websites … and finally it came down to Dave's Woodstock Music
and a Larrivée P-09. It wasn't just that Dave's Woodstock Music had the
best price: The customer service was personable and informative, your
follow-up was reliable, and your relationship with Larrivée made my
purchase a snap. The P-09 arrived as promised and on time—I've been
playing it a lot, and it's a gem. I have to start making notes for my
next lefty acoustic (or maybe one of the Larrivée RS electrics) ...
which maker, which woods, which inlays on the neck, which electronics …
and come back to Dave's Woodstock Music when I'm ready! All the best!

I just wanted to let you know that my custom built cherry burst quilt
top G & L Legacy arrived on time.
The quilt top and the Birdseye maple neck are gorgeous and were well
worth the wait. The guitar plays and sounds wonderful, the frets are
well dressed, the action is low ( ~ 2 mm.. 14th fret) with no fret buzz
and the intonation is right on. The sustain is good for this type of
guitar ( ~ 30 secs. low E string ). the fit and finish are flawless.
Additionally the upgraded case is well made and worth having. Based on
the variability of web based images I was a little concerned about the
cherry burst finish I am happy to report that I am pleased with
it.
The sales experience with you went very smoothly and I would purchase
from you again.
Thanks for everything. I look forward to many years of enjoyment
playing this fine instrument.
Regards,
Glenn
