OK, let's try again. 

Choose body
Choose finish
Choose neck
Choose scale
Choose 6 or 12 string if applicable.

Vote should be able to be changed.

And remember, absolutely nothing is riding on this... :roll

Comments are always appreciated.

What no cutaway 12 fret Jumbo? Too few choices  :winkin: Seriously the more selections the more your data is generalized. I am prety darned happy with my "L"05-12 & DV09.

:arrow :arrow I'm Trying!! :arrow :arrow :wacko:

Ok so do I add cutaway, slothead options?

000 12 fret short scale 03 series would be great.  Short scale is not absolutely necessary though. 

Do we really have to limit it to one?   :humour:

It's between a 12 fret 000 short scale 12 string and a long scale parlor (24.5) for me...  either with satin finish and cutaway.

LOL!!!  And my new 00V-03 isn't even finished yet.

Ed

Edit:  I went for the parlor for this poll

Btw, what does Larrivee consider as short scale in say, an 000 size?

Does 000 body imply 1 13/16" neck?

I *think* short scale means 24.75".  OTOH, a long scale parlor is 24.5".

Ed

Any LS option?

I wonder, if the price is kept to a minimum, will that mean the wood will be less than AAA? That is, if we keep it simple, will the wood be average? Is that a stupid question? :? I'm not insinuating Mr Larrivee would jip anyone, but why provide AAA tonewood for an economical guitar?
I guess the type of woods chosen will be on the next poll? I.E. mahogany, rosewood, etc.

I am in love with the idea of a jumbo.  Kind of goes in the total opposite direction of the trend nowadays of going small and couch guitar.  But, hey, I've got a big lap......for me a dred and jumbo are couch guitars  :tongue:

How about an RS-2 (RT-2) "tele" with 2 P90's, an ebony fret board and a "V" inlay?

                                              or

How about an all koa, tenor ukulele, Grover gear tuners with a "V" inlay?

Hmmmm, just thinking of the possibilities.  :whistling:

Short scale, 12 fret, slothead, 1-13/16" nut. pyramid bridge, sunburst, adirondak top. No pickguard. 0-03 body size / style. Yes....?   :donut :donut2

Voted for 14 fret D.  Would also consider J, L, or Classical.  I have no interest in steel string small bodies, and anything with a 1 11/16 nut would be deal breaker for me.  Would prefer a cutaway.

Something along the lines of a D cutaway with 1 3/4 or wider nut, in a less common tonewood like silver oak, lacewood, etc.  Wood headstock overlay with MOP logo.  Would also like something other than standard dots or microdots on the fretboard.  Even plain would be OK.

Something in a steel string C would also be interesting.  Perhaps a satin finish C in hog or walnut.

Here's my input;

12 fret, 00 deep body, long-scale, gloss, herringbone purfling/rosette and maple binding, slotted headstock and cutaway available.

Sounding closer to a temptation.

Just make the body about 4 1/2 at the butt and only taper down to about 4 1/8 at the neck block and you will really have a unique F-V.

Make it 1-13/16 nut and 2-5/16 saddle, and with the deep body you'd definitely get my attention -  but I'd only want a paddle head, with maybe a little traditional JCL inlay design -

OK I voted but couldn't make my mind up on the body so I voted for both an OM and an LS,12 string,12 fret neck and a gloss body.Wood of choice would be Maple for the OM and either maple or mahogany for the LS.Oh ya a CS would really be cool.Clear guard,paddle head,sunburst would be cool.A simple Larrivee inlay on the 12 fret and nothin on the headstock.

A 12 fret neck on a twelve string...I'd be all over that...

Is there a way to change my vote? :?

Denis I'm not sure anyone would commit to a higher end forum guitar.In a satin finish for me it would need to be a 12 string version of my Pete Anderson right down to that beautiful cheesey sunburst finish.In the LS I just think that they look classier in a gloss finish.No insult to the forum LS.Also a simple sitka top and the more I think about it I think mahogany would have more depth over the drier sounding maple for most people but I think I would still go for maple.

Make mine a rosewood back and sides (minus the sunburst) and I'm ready to write the check...

Click on "Remove Vote" and then re-vote

I just changed mine to a LS, 12 string, 12 fret, short scale, cutaway, satin

Ed

Ed,
Thanks for the response.  Man, I hope that wasn't there all along (that was pretty obvious). :roll

short scale OMV.......deep body would be perfect guitar.........either nut size would be fine but 1 11/16 would be preference.

Seems to me we need a slot head option in this poll.

Hi all.

I started the poll to help focus the discussion. I thought the place to start was the body style.  I also thought that the details of woods, slot heads, size at the nut, etc. would come once the consensus on the body was reached. Is everybody content to limit the choice to J, 000,  or L? Or just keep adding to the endless list of options?  :winkin:

Looks like the majority has chosen  000, 12 fret, short scale, 6 string in satin or gloss. There is no non cutaway option so the 21 votes for it is confusing, better to leave that as a choice the same as woods.

BTW  I voted 000, 12fret, long scale, 6 string, satin.  But only to view results, not interested in purchasing, no funds.

According to the numbers, 0 and 00 have more votes than L.

True!  Sorry.

I have a sense that there will be no consensus for the Forum V at this time.

Okay, I am adding the wood and other options w/o eliminating anything  (SIGH!!)

Hmmm...  I have a feeling my (usual) lack of emoticons made my comment come across harsher than intended.  Truth be told, I'm approaching the vote as it started out...

"And remember, absolutely nothing is riding on this... "

Actually, the LS 12 Fret 12 string oover on the classifieds might be as close as I might get to what I'd like in a 12 string without an uberexpensive custom commission.

No offense perceived or taken. I thought I was being helpful starting the poll and that people would coalesce around one style. Not to be. Not yet any way. I was expecting that the next F git would be larger, but it seems there is not even that agreement.  And when do we ever disagree here?  :arrow  :cheers

New options and change vote option back in effect.

I just changed my options and realized I think I just described a FIII. If I had the cash, the one up for sale now would have a new home. So be it.

I'm broke(n) :bgrin:
