Title: Forum III Production Pictures
Post by: Jagadis on November 26, 2011, 05:46:50 PM
Hey everyone,

Haven't posted these photos in a while and thought some of the new people would be interested.  This is a link to the online photo album where I saved the 246 Forum III production photos that were posted by Larrivee on Facebook.

Brings back lots of fond memories.  Enjoy...

Jordan.

I see mine in there a few times.   I remember how the excitement was building up as new photos were posted along the way.  The whole process;  from the discussions which got the FIII started until we all had them in our hands was a lot of fun for all concerned.   When I picked mine up at the factory I talked to several of the Larrivee craftsmen who appear in these photos.  They said the FIII build was fun for them as well since this was outside the normal day-to-day build and they were building for individuals rather than just building for a store's stock.
They all seemed very proud of their finished product.

Those were good pictures.  I always wished I could have been part of that build process beyond my voyeuristic ways.

Still love my Forum III.  Thanks for posting the pics, Jordan.  There's a couple of shots of mine in there.  Very cool to see at least part of it in the production phase.   :thumb

Cheers for this, great memories.  Seeing my forum III before I played the snot out of it and put various dings and scratches on it along the way.  Priceless instrument, and a wonderful process to be part of.  She still sounds better and better every day too.

Great pics, great trip down memory lane. I've been away from the forum for a while, this was a treat to come back to.   #57/78 is still my daily player, will be for a long, long time, and I still find gratification in the number of lefties from this run.
