This hurts.  Due to budget constraints I've got sell my Forum IV #15.  It's been played about 3 hours.  Not a mark on it.  Beautiful guitar.  I just can't keep it.  Who wants it.
$925 plus shipping.

Sold it today. 
Bitter sweet but I've got my health and some other great guitars.
Thanks everyone.

Oh my, someone is going to be very lucky to get their hands on this F-IV !

I can't keep my hands off my F-IV.
Play it daily for best results.

I would love to get some pics of and more details on this guitar. I am new here and not familiar with the forum guitars. You can email me at epetrillo@att.net

   All of those that have one or have played them know who wants them. Everyone that didn't buy one! I'm still looking for an all HOG F-II or F-III, being blown away by my OO-03MT. An all HOG F-III is my real choice to add to my IS/HOG F-III.
  These guitars are special, compare to or sound better than many costing 3x as much, & are a dream to play!
  Everyone was (maybe not everyone) saying how they wish they got in on this one. I don't know the seller, but mine is one awesome guitar, as are all. Only 29 numbered ones made, making it an instant collectors piece. Sorry to see that appleknocker needs to sell his.
  If you've noticed, the posts on the thread for these have dwindled, probably due to all playing theirs & wiping the drool off after!!! The price is right & good luck with your impending sale.  :thumbsup
  Here's my #23/29, just to get an idea of what they look like. Higher series headstock (Larrivee MOP inlay, silver border) & a back strip on the inside. The strip, if I'm not mistaken, is only on the Forum OO's? Some spruce topped ones out there, but not as sweet as these. Might get a PM from a MOD for this post, but just can't help singing the praises of these gits!!

My 00-03 SE does NOT have a back strip. For what it's worth... Best I can tell ALL the 00's are great! Someone should buy this one quick!

   Chris, sorry. Didn't mean to imply the spruce topped ones weren't sweet also? I'm just amazed with my F-IV, that's all. Can't find one like yours to play & hear how nice it sounds. Think the back strip just to help stiffen the HOG body & for structural integrity? Think you know more about this than me?
   Someone please buy this? I might end up with 2!! :nana_guitar

Sorry, I think I was misunderstood. I think the backstrip is a nice addition. Not a criticism! And I think the reports indicate they all are notably good. :nana_guitar

These are so sweet sounding.  If you play fingerstyle at all, they are very rewarding.  I let my nails grow but not very long.  I play with a combination of skin and nail and digging in, even just a bit, really moves it, all over.  It's a great sound to my ear.  And it looks cool!  Love all that mahogany! 

Good luck with your sale appleknocker.  I'm sure you're going to make someone really happy!   :nana_guitar

Gosh I can't believe this hasn't sold yet. I was looking for one of these until I settled on a P-03 (which I'm very happy with). Maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy this one too.

Bump for a price drop.  Anybody want this fantastic guitar?  Dang, I thought this would go faster.

We all thought it would go faster!  Dang it! 

Did you put it up on the AGF???  Thanks to that dude at LA Guitar Sales and his custom 00 Larrivees, someone will surely want to buy it.  We have nearly 9000 members here and there are nearly 47000 on the AGF.  Just sayin'...

I remember when Matthew Larrivee referred to the F-IV's as "cannons."    I scoffed.  A 00 cannon?   Puhleeease!

I played an F-IV this weekend, and it is an amazing box.    I'm embarrassed to admit that it is louder than my OM-03MT.    It's a cannon!   (And it's much more comfortable, to boot.)

Okay, Gitnoob, you know you want Appleknocker's Forum-IV!   :tongue:

What are you waiting for?  (I'm looking forward to getting my F-IV back tomorrow, but will have trouble returning your 0-50.   :crying:)
Play it daily for best results.

Holy Crap!   :ohmy:   I would totally get this guitar!  I've got a Stanford (Furch built) guitar (12 fret dred slot head) that I need to move first, and for the money could get from that, I could buy this one.......but guitars just aren't moving right now, and I've been sitting on that one for a while now.  Ugh!  :crying:

It feels like carma just isn't lining up on this one for me.

Good luck......that is one beautiful guitar   :drool:
