For sale is my all mahogany Forum III (#77). I am the second owner. I bought this guitar on this forum from Jeff (member name of es-335) last November. It is in pristine condition. Pics of the guitar from Jeff's posts can be found here - http://www.larriveeforum.com/smf/index.php?topic=29271.0. Since the purchase, I've had a local luthier add the Larrivee provided tortoise pickguard and install a bone saddle and nut.
I bought this as a second guitar, and while it plays wonderfully and sounds great, I've found I prefer the sound of a spruce topped guitar.
Price reduced to $850 plus shipping and paypal fees. This is a great price for a great guitar. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at picktap@wi.rr.com.
Thanks,
Bill

What body style is this guitar? It's hard to tell from pictures.

These are the LS size. A LS-03 MT in this case. I am playing mine right now and enjoy it very much. The LS size is closest to an OM size if you are not familiar with the Larrivee LS.
Danny - thanks for providing the info.

Just reduce the size to about 600X400 per picture.
Please excuse me for asking, how do these MT LS guitars perform when strummed. It's about the only way I can play.
Thanks

While not a dred, this guitar performs fine when strummed.

I do quite a bit of strumming on mine and there's no problem until you start banging away like Pete Townshend. Light to medium strumming produces a very nice, balanced tone without breakup.

Wow! Somebody's gonna get a deal... Larrivee + all hog = :nice guitar:
Anybody who is on the fence about this guitar because it's a hogtop rather than spruce; let me assure you that my Forum III hogtop, which is a lefty twin of #77 is one of the finest guitars I've played. This is a very fair price for a terrific guitar.
Actually this is a very LOW price for this guitar. I am amazed. :?
I have heard the all hog version of this guitar and they have amazing tone. Somebody should buy this guitar and quickly. Amazing guitars.
Hi Matt.
I've never played an all mahog guitar but I am always looking for something new. How does this compare to a cedar top with mahog back and sides? Where are you located as I am in Canada and shipping always seems a problem and the border can be expensive? Thanks for your help.
John
Hi John,
While your question was for "Matt," I believe it may have been for me, Bill, the seller. Unfortunately, I have never played a cedar topped guitar. Perhaps another Forum member who has played a cedar top, can chime in. Regarding shipping to Canada, while more expensive, I know it can be done.
Bill
I shipped my all mahogany D-03MT from Texas to Canada with no problems. I would say the hog top is woodier and not as bright as a cedar top.
I just sold the all hog Forum III to a local (Milwaukee) buyer, fellow Forum member civman. Many thanks Rick.
