I tried to aviod and ignore it but just couldn't help myself. I've always regreted selling Joseph my Forum I and now once again feel complete.

Nice going Jeff.  I'm sure you will fall in love with the FIV.

So... Mike..  when are you going to divulge what guitar you will be now acquiring ?

Mike, are you going to enlighten us with what you are selling to finance?

In fact, I've already made the purchase using bridge financing...aka my credit card.

It's an LSV-11 which was on ebay, one of two lefties ever made apparently.

I've always wanted to try a short scale, like the LS body size, and wished I'd gone for the cutaway on the FIII, so it seemed pretty close to my dream specs. The guitar is actually now in hand and it's certainly a beauty and it has the most balanced tone of any Larri I've ever heard, but really lacks the projection of the FIIIs. So, I like it but not sure yet if I'm gonna love it...

I was surprised to see you offering the FIII for sale.  I remember at the factory when they broke the news to you that they had screwed up your original lefty FIII and had to start over.  You were pretty disappointed until John Jr let you pick out your own set of mahogany back and sides and top for the re-build.  That was a very nice set of hog you ended up with. I do understand the attraction to the LSV-11 though.  I've seen Danny's and it was a beauty.

Jeff, you're getting a real nice Larrivee coming your way.    Looks like it works out for everyone.  And we've kept a real nice Lefty Larrivee right here where it belongs.... with a forum member.   :thumb

  I'm happy to see this work out for you both Mike. My 2cnd LSV-11 was made a bit larger than LS specs and I sold it. Which also was the energy behind me wanting the F-III. At first I wanted the cutaway as well, in RW. The model ricky bought actually.
  But when they offered the MH/IS combo I changed my thinking and ordered it instead. I've been happy with my choice. But the LSV-11 is a superb Larrivee. In spite of the lack of projection I believe it is a fine guitar that you will enjoy very much.

   I pretty much did the same as Dan, having my L-10 but not sure which combo would sound best on the older LS body. After speaking with Dave Wren about it, that made me switch my order from the RW to the IS/HOG. Will never regret that move. Most comfortable & best sounding guitar I have. The F-IV, a VERY close second & just one great guitar! This is one move you won't regret! :thumb
   Jeff, good luck with your new guitar. Again, you won't be disappointed. Just in awe!
   Got some good advice from Ttp about an F-II acquisition. Looks like that's in my near future? :nana_guitar

Hey Lynn:

Well, actually, I have two FIIIs - I picked up the extra RW/IS one which is un-numbered and that is the one which I will most likely put up for sale in the near future. I'm keeping my all-hog one, which is one of the reasons I was able to let the FIV go.

Ooops.  I need to pay closer attention.   I was thinking that you had your FIII for sale here instead of your FIV.   I don't know why I confused the situation since the information is right there in the Subject line.   Oh well.    So, you may still be selling an FIII though.   Glad you'll be keeping the all hog one.  It's pretty special.

Did these Forum IV guitars come with both the clear and tortiose pickguard?

Hey Jeff....this one only came with the clear one which is installed. Hope that's not a problem. Mike

No worries Mike, if I ever decide I want a pickguard on it I'm sure our friends over at Larrivee could help me out.

Well, I recieved the guitar yesterday afternoon and all I can say is WOW! It is everything I had hoped it would be and more. This little thing is quite a cannon and a tone monster to boot. Very woody, and resonant with that nice Hop Top funky thunk. I could not be happier that I jumped on this and can't believe I was going to pass on it.  It's nice to be back in the Larrivee Family again as well.

I am glad it went to someone who will really enjoy having it.
I was playing mine this morning, working on a song I wrote last week and playing while singing the new words. My mother in law, who is 82 and knows "zero" about guitars said. "What makes that guitar sound so good? It is different than other guitars."

      I was very happy to tell her all about it. :winkin:
