Tonight, Andy Olivera’s mom is devastated. Andy, went out on his nightly routine jog and when he didn’t return, his mom became very concerned and started looking for him, the police finally called at 3am notifying her that her son passed away apparently it was a hit and run. Police are trying to...

Let’s face it, that’s the lamest post we had to publish on Instagram, but sometimes you need to call it quit. The store will still be open “physically” for a couple of months than everything left will just go online. Good deals for sure but low ballers please pass your way: we’re in no rush here, guitars will be sold with huge discounts but we’re not desperate either, so no need to try indecent offers, thanks.

We had the immense honor to tour the factory with Jean Larrivée himself. It’s hard to understand how much care and love Jean is bringing to every single guitar on what we should call his workshop. Too much magic here to call it a factory, it’s a workshop, a big one, but a workshop nonetheless. Thank you Jean for bringing such awesome guitars to life!

2 out of the 4 guitars we received last month are already gone. This classy and subtile parlor is still here. Worth a try, even more worth bringing it back home today! 🇸🇬
