Forum Guitars, Part Deux!

Forum Guitar Orders Being Accepted Again!  One Last Chance to Order!

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

Oh Boy....  This is going to be too tough to resist!

Couple questions --

1)  What is total price?  Any difference between Mahogany and Spruce top in price?

2)  Can someone give me an idea of the tonal differences between the Mahogany and Spruce top on this model?  I'm leaning toward the Mahogany, but need to be sure...

Thanks in advance!!!

It would be nice if we can change it a little. Hmm... How about Flame maple binding rather than regular maple binding?????

[brad6tn]

How about a cutaway?

All of these topics were answered during the first order. the only choice besides ordering one is the type of wood you want for the top. You can of course custom order anything you want thru a dealer if your willing to pay for the custom upcharge.

THat's exactly what I want. I think we need 10 or more request bofore they can doit. I don't know if 10 + people want to pay the extra$$$

There should be no duty. Under the NAFTA Agreement products manufactured in North America are duty free when shipped within North America.

You may have to pay a Customs charge when it crosses the border. Check with the shipper first.

Customs Broker fee and GST.
Good time to buy with the Canadian dollar high

[JasonA]

Is there a deadline date for having this round of orders in?

[D4ve]

Still beholding to the tax man

As noted, for Canada there is no duty, only GST and the brokerage fee.
I just had an amplifier delivered from the states (about $550 US) and UPS charged a $60 brokerage fee.

So how much was the grand total again? How soon do deposits need to be in? I like the cutaway idea as well.

Wow, so far we have 3 who are interested in cutaway. I wonder if Jason will allow it if we get couple more people who wants it.

Obviously I'm not Jason, but these guitars will be exactly the same as the original ones.  No changes.

Hello everyone, been pickin and grinnin this afternoon with a customer, and haven't been on the 'puter.  The spec should be the same.  If it changes we would have to do it as a separate custom order, and need at least 10 to do it.  It wouldn't be the "Forum Guitar", but if there are more than 10 requests we can do it as something different.  The cost is available by email, and for the Canadian customers we may be able to get it shipped from Vancouver, and save on the fees.  I can't promise, but it may be an option.  Now back to my learnin'!  This guy I'm playing with is good!  J

Geez, these forum guitars really sound like something special.  I just got back from The Podium in Minneapolis and fell in love with a OM-03MT, and then I get home and see this!  I was interested in possibly getting something with a cutaway (if that happened).  And with choice Mahogany going up in price, it might be time for me to take action (I'm almost wishing I could get taxes done early this year now).

Could I get a price quote on the standard Forum guitar sent to heis0067@d.umn.edu?  Thanks a lot.  This is a great group of guys here.

So Jason, did you say when the deadline for placing an order is?
