I've seen this term posted, but don't know what it means. :-(
Snowy Lady,
The Larrivees gratiously made a Special run on orders taken here at the Forum on a consensus guitar--
an OM-03 w/special extras! There were 12-13 (?) made. You wont see another order for a while, me thinks. :(
Oh yeah, it was a 12 fret style!
Aha! I thought it might be something like that. Thanks for clearing it up. :-)
As a matter of fact, i was speaking with Jason and he told me that they were going to do a few more Forum specials, give him a ring or email about particulrs...Robb

Yeah they made 17 of them total with 8 of them being Sitka top and 9 of them being Mohogany top. All 17 of them had mahogany side and back.

Oh really? That's the 1st I've heard of this.
Thanks, Robb -- but, uh, not for me. I have a two-week old L-09R, so another one is out of range for the time being! (Rats!) :lol:
Yes, that why Ive made up my feeble mind to sell my 09 koa parlor for a forum guitar...she would look nice next to my OM-03K and compliment the sound esp in dadgad tuning I think. Robb

what? more? nice. Jason, you gotta share what's goin on! something different? more of the same style?
Speak up...we can't hear you!
This would be great to have a second chance at one of these...and personally, I liked the 12 fret OM model, and the mahogany top option.
:)
Another chance!!..um, um, oh my...
Can I get confirmation on this?! :o
Get That Cat, put it back in the bag before it is too......
Oh well. I guess you can't put it back. I was waiting to post until I got some particulars from Larrivee, and I wanted to check with Zach before putting it out on the forum. The simple answer is YES! Larrivee is going to be making me another guitar. As many of you know, one of the mahogany top forum guitars was made inadvertantly left handed (aren't they all? ;) ), and Jean Larrivee jr. was going to convert it to right hand for me. He then decided that he would rather leave this one left-handed and build a new one for me. Since they were going to be making another, I asked if they would consider building more if we received more orders. They said yes, if the forum agreed, and we had interest, they would build the guitars. They will once again be 12 fret OM-03's, mahogany or spruce top, with ebony buttons, pins, and MOP logo. They are excellent guitars, and you have probably read the reviews already. So, if you are interested email me to get on the list. It will take 8-10 weeks, but will be worth the wait. It will take a $300 deposit to place the order, and balance due upon shipping. Thanks to everyone who helped get this off the ground, and thanks to Larrivee for once again going the extra mile for the forum! Jason
Yes. I think we need some OFFICIAL word. Paging Jason. Jason?
Boy that was fast! Thanks!
alright sweet, I can't get one but I hope you all do, so I can know what it feels like to have a rare forum guitar in your hands.
Jason you are the King of Graciousness with the extention of this offer to everyone. :lol:
My part is easy, it is Larrivee who is doing the hard work. Hopefully we can get everyone interested this time so there isn't any non-buyer's remorse. J
Jason,
You could leave the window open for 7-10 days so people away for a ski trip or some-such get a chance at the guitar. I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one with spruce top.. thinking.... B)
To formalize this and make it more obvious, perhaps, Jason, you should start a new thread...
Oh man.....I wish I wasn't a university student :( . Then I would have more money to spend on guitars and guitar related stuff. I'm gonna have to figure out if this is within my budget. Wait a minute....aren't tax returns coming back soon???? ;)

For those who want pictures, #4 can be found in the "pictures" part of this forum...
Not to fuel any fire, or GAS, but they sure are pretty! And sound GREAT!
