Yep, same goes for Larrivee. However, I DID repair a body split in another friend's Larrivee, much older model though and I don't know what sort of warranty specs they offer, ie. 1, 2yrs. or lifetime? One thing about the friend with the Martin, I asked about his receipt and documentation. Apparently, he paid cash for a brand new Martin from a reputable dealership but did not get a receipt, manual or warranty info. I asked "what gives?" if you can't prove you are the ORIGINAL owner then warranty is void, goes with ALL brands. But he says he knows the shop owner well and the guy should remember the sale, I shure hope so. Otherwise, I told him to bring it on over. Sorry about digressing from the thread topic dj...well sorta.
