1995 Larrivee Custom: Classical body shape with sharp cutaway.  Extra wide fingerboard and Fishman bridge pickup.  Matched spruce top, rosewood back and sides.  Mother-of-Pearl soundhole inlay.  Huge wear spot above the soundhole by the fingerboard – looks like someone took a chisel to it.  (That’d be me.) Case looks like it’s been through WWIII – held together with brown carpet tape and stickers.

Gretsch G5120: Bright orange, looks brand new.  Bigby bridge.  Case doesn’t have a scratch on it.

Here’s a link to a picture and description of the church’s keyboard:

Roland – Fantom X8

Thanks for your help in trying to find my lost loves!!
