Here goes, the newby is the one in the middle, sort of a rose between two roses!
Hope the pics come thru, I'm a bit of a technophobe! Attachments:

The Larrivee is the middle one, the others are on the left Martin D16 RGT and Fender Esenada ES10.
Cheers

Oh she looks a beaut. Definitely need some sound recordings of her.
I would have never guessed the guitar on the right was a fender.

The Fender is amazing all solid woods and made in Mexico, maple top and solid Mexican rosewood on the back and sides (palo escrito). It sounds like a real expensive guitar, don't think they made them for long due to the costs.

Nice. I used to have an OM-03MT without the sunburst. One of those guitars I regret letting go. That burst is beautiful!!

Think this a keeper guitar, I knew soon as I played it. Sunburst is pretty cool, read somewhere that Jean Larrivee likes to do all the sunburst finishes, hope it's true!

Congrats on that one monolith! I too rather like a decent sunburst finish, provided it is not just on the top - good to see yours is a proper one! Keith

Congrats on the new Larrivee monolith! I keep hearing good things about the brand - but I've never seen one anywhere yet to try one. I see there's very little to be seen on line about the Fender Ensenada, even on the Fender forum. Would tie in with them not being made for long - shame as they sound like a lot of guitar for the price. Mark

Larrivees are pretty cool, have to say. They are quite heavily built so I find they take a while to really come to their own but once they do wow! The Fender is superb, recorded most of the songs that are in open turnings on my album on it, really solid versatile guitar, the Mexican rosewood is so nice, that picture doesn't do it justice!
Phil, I was torn between the OM50 and the OM03, both ace guitars but the sunburst finish swung me!

I thought you bought it back again Lynn ? no, that was the D-03R. After getting the surprise-birthday-not-even-close-to-what-I-ordered Martin, the D-03R no longer got any play time so it went to a new home. If the Martin hadn't appeared the D-03R would still be my main guitar. I absolutely love Larrivees.

Congrats on the new Larrivee.
I have just bought one and quite frankly I am blown away by it. It was meant to be a back up guitar but has now been promoted.
Talk about value for money.
