Everyone please say a prayer that FedEx becomes the caring, careful, prompt and safe delivery service they have aspired to, oh these many years, but have so far failed to achieve. May they be so empowered by the Spirit of Christmases past and present to deliver our Forum VI guitars safely, warmly and expeditiously.

I already paid to get it out of the way a while ago. So, I'm in the dark as far as my guitar goes.

Hoping to get a "ring" for Christmas? May your wish come true! John said he had "a bunch" of guitars to get shipped.

Wow!  Congratulations to everyone and may your shipping be quick and uneventful.   I will wait for the call. 

FedEx tracking info just popped on my phone! 12/28 by end of day. Cold weather here in Michigan means allowing an acclimation time before opening. That's going to be some wait!  :drool:

Same! 12/28 by end of day. Heading to me here in chilly Wisconsin. I will also have that excruciatingly slow wait for package acclimation. I am giving it a full 24 hours. It's going to be one of the longest 24 hours in my life.

I had a Birthday yesterday and today I see guitars are beginning to be shipped - I'm counting that as a Birthday present!!  Thank you Jean, John, and Matt!!

I live in Anchorage so cold temp's at this time of year are life but I see they should be rising soon.  Will still do the minimum of 12 hours to acclimate.  So excited!!

Merry Christmas to all and thank you for the Forum guitar build experience again!!

:cheers


I'll be getting the self bought Christmas present!!!
Mine will arrive on Friday according to FedEx at the moment.  :guitar :cheers

Well, just had my FedEx tracking pop up, Monday 12/27/2021 for me.
I'm in Houston & hopefully my package will stay in the Southern climate regions, so I won't have to WAIT.  :thumb

Hmmm, my b-d is January 4, so (since it's looking like mine will arrive after Dec. 25) I'll count mine as a b-d present too!  :arrow

Perfect timing!!   :guitar

I was thinking I'd make a custom stand for my Forum VI and it took me about 2 seconds to realize the the "V" could form the base and the "I" could naturally be the upright arm emanating from the crotch of the V. No way I can get it done by Tuesday but I'm going to definitely put this on the to-do list. I've got plenty of walnut boards just waiting for their turn. This will be some fun joinery!

You might get some commissions out of that! Looking forward to seeing it. :thumbsup
