Well Folks,

I just called Jason/GuitarCrazy and signed up for a Mahogany Top Forum Guitar.  I missed the first round and could not believe they were doing it again.  Larrivee is really doing something different and special for the forum.  

Now the waiting starts.  Who else has started the waiting process?

Blues guitar on the way :D

Congrats...

  I'm looking pretty hard at these myself.  Any word on when they will be ready from Jason ?

QuoteCongrats...

Orders are being taken this WEEK. Act now!

They should take about 8 to 9 weeks to build.  I believe Larrivee will start building them next week.  From all the reports the Forum Guitar seems to be a great guitar.  I am really looking forward to this one.

Well, I took the plunge.    B)  I just got off the phone with Jason and put in my order for the Mahogany Top Forum Guitar.  I figured an opportunity like this doesn't come along very often so......

From what Jason tells me that gives me approximately 8 weeks to come up with a story for my wife to answer that infamous post GAS question, "Why do you need another guitar !"   :lol:


1. Why do you need another pair of shoes..
2. Same reason it cost you $50.00 for a hair cut..
3. We can talk about it over dinner at that place you love..

Hmmmm..I got some work to do.  :ph34r:

My wife supprised me on this one.  I guess I had talked about the first batch enough that when I mentined the second batch she just said "go ahead and call him". :)

Quote2. Same reason it cost you $50.00 for a hair cut..

You have it pretty good.
Haircuts here run $100... almost $200 with a color.

I don't even ask how much anymore.  Good news is she makes a lot more money then me.  Thats right, I have a sugar mama.

QuoteThats right, I have a sugar mama.

Don't tell me she plays guitar too

Please don't tell me..


:)  

I am this close to putting my deposit down. Tax return is sizeable this year, it's the convincing the Mrs. that I *need* another guitar. Maybe one of you guys could give her a call??? :D  

I just signed up for one too! :D   Since my last one was inadvertantly made left handed, I am getting one of these to replace it.  I thought about learning to play lefty and live with it.  I am not that good right handed, so it couldn't be that hard....

QuoteI am not that good right handed, so it couldn't be that hard....

I wish I could play as bad as you. B)

Boy would I like to for me I know it's a want and not a need because I have all the guitars I need. Now the rest are just wants Hey you married guys can use that line.  :lol:

Right now though money is tight and even though it is a great price it's that money thing that gets in the way now. Good news is I do have enough for Larrivee Sawg :D So I got the Larrivee strap and the cloth coming soon. :D

i'm torn. i'd LOVE to try a MT. but i already have a spruce topped one. i suppose i could order another and sell the one i like, umm, less. sure can't keep both of 'em tho. shame :)

oh well. 'least i have another couple days to mull it over.  

Looked at my bank account, thought about that tax return coming in, thought about the money I spent on skis this year, looked at my other guitars and thought of selling them but they are my friends. Since I have a MT Parlor I love, think i'm gonna have to pass. :( sniff, wheeze...

but I'll be OK when I buy that new Fisher mtn bike this spring  :)

Quotelooked at my other guitars and thought of selling them but they are my friends...

I'm sort of in the same boat.  I thought about selling my Taylor, but I don't really want to.

I pretty much had gotten my wifes buy in for the forum guitar, but I needed a small electric tube amp and a PA more than another acoustic.  So, I went that route.

For me 2 acoustics in plenty, as I don't have time to play more than that, but I have a variety of nice acoustics now, and don't want to part with any of them.

Boy I am torn about the forum guitar. Over the past year I got a CA BluegrassPerformer and a Martin LXM for a travel guitar. I know I dont really need a new guitar then but would love to pick up an all mahogany one.Financially can swing it without going without, but realize its not a necessity. Seeing all the pictures am tempted to see about selling the CA, even though is a guitar I love.The forum just seems a once in a blue moon guitar to come along. . But maybe the thing im learning is that more moons will come along.I guess need to be happy with what I've got, and instead work on my guitar playing.Patrick

QuoteI guess need to be happy with what I've got, and instead work on my guitar playing.

C'mon Pat, where's the fun in that?  ;)  

Just put my order in today :D I am very excited about this as an all mahogany has been on my GAS list for a while now. I came close to buying a used OOO-15 Martin that was hanging in a local shop, but for a few more sheckles this is so much more guitar.

Now the waiting begins......

It's this kind of improper thinking that will give GAS a bad name.
Either you submit willingly to a re-education session or we will have to have an intervention.

Now, repeat after me, "I need a mahogany top because I only have a spruce top," and "I will keep both because they are different."

Don't make me come over there.

This is killing me.  This second run came about 6 mos. too early for me.  I'm in my final semester of law school, so my wife (and two kids) and I are financially "insecure" for another 6 mos. or so.  I'm going to have to take off from work to study for the bar, so I just cannot convince my wife (or myself) that this would be $XXX well spent.  Man, what a graduation gift this would have made.   :(

hehe. you're right there. i'm just pretty sure that i'd rather have a different spruce top than the forum lol. i'm thinking get the MT forum guitar, sell the spruce topped, sell my koa taylor, and get a larrivee roserood L or OM or dred.

ohhhhhhhhh the possibilities !!! haha
