I've still got the original strings on #7 (ST). I'm inclined to switch to John Pearse Phospher Bronze after the originals wear out. I did pull the PG off the other day and I have a Tor-tis guard to put on after I buff it out.

Hey Onetubetone...all the forum guitars were labeled as part of the 17 guitar run. From what I remember number 1 through 8 or 9 were spruce tops and the rest were mahognay tops. Mine is labeled #7 of 17.

Make sense?

#4 still has the original strings, but when it's time to change she'll get John Pearse lights - the ones that are heavier than the regular lights. Don't remember the exact nomenclature.

I've got martin's new fingerstyle lights on #8.They're not what I thought they'd be.I'm alittle dissappointed in them.Constantly having to retune the "B" string.Maybe I just got a bad set,I don't know.I think I'm gonna try the john pearse lights next.I don't think they make a guitar string that could make this guitar sound bad.It's just an awsome instrument!!

No need to apologize! I guess that all Larrivée's are forum guitars   :D
And Newtones are great strings, even though I think my Thomastiks are even better.   ;)

#14 (mahogany top) still has the original strings but I may try Dean Markley Alchemys at some point - although I'm a bit hesitant to change.  This guitar is unbelievable!    :D The figuring in the mahogany is extremely nice and the tone is rich and beautiful.

I'm a drummer and bought this guitar (as well as an all-mahogany parlor and a blackwood\spruce parlor) because my son was wanting to learn to play.  I love acoustic guitar so much that I kinda over-indulged!  

Anyway, I brought #14 to rehearsal Tuesday night for our guitarists to play after rehearsal.  When our lead guitarist began to play, people immediately stopped what they were doing as they were astonished at the sound.   :o  They listened, commenting about the beautiful sound and began asking questions about the guitar.  It was incredible!  I actually stayed more than 2 hours after rehearsal because our guitarist was having such an incredible time playing it.   He couldn't put it down!  It was great fingerstyle, picking, and strumming.

All I can say is WOW!  This is an incredible guitar!    :D   Thanks Jason and Larrivee!

Hey gang, I'm happy to go on record as saying I'm the proud adoptive parent of Forum #9 MT.  Sure is a remarkable instrument.  The 12-fret phenomenon is no joke--this puppy is a cannon.  Anyhow, it has the original Elixirs on it and I have no intention of changing ANYTHING on this guitar any time soon.  I don't even want to take the Elixir tag of the tuning key!  Could not be happier. :D
