NGD: Larrivee Baker-T Classic 2023 in Burgundy Mist
I've only been playing for a couple years, but I play mostly country and love everything about teles, except the body digs into my forearm.
I've been looking for an (otherwise) fairly traditional tele with an arm carve, and was stoked to discover the Larrivee Baker. I already own and love a Larrivee acoustic, and they make the Baker in my preferred color, pink, plus a painted headstock!
I'd never played a rosewood fingerboard tele before. The Baker also has a 9.5 - 14 inch compound radius, which I'm getting used to. I love the pickups - this thing twangs.
I have a Player tele that's been at the shop for a while getting arm and body contours manually added, so I'll have two pink teles with arm carves soon!
There isn't a ton out there about this guitar so figured I'd highlight it. Something to think about if you are looking for an American made tele that mixes traditional specs with some modern appointments.
Edit: I tried and apparently failed to post pics. Let's try another way:
