FORUM VII ORDER DEPOSIT POST

That flame (from the pic on the left) is going to be flat-out insane when some finish is put on it!

It still amazes me that Larrivée is so willing to build *custom* guitars for it's forum members.
And these are not run of the mill guitars. I for one, am very thankful.

How many other builders do that?

Well-said. Not only custom, but exotic wood customs at a bargain price. This doesn't strike me as something they are doing because it makes financial sense. There's definitely a sense of appreciation being sent back to the fans. I hope the Larrivee family knows, "we notice".

I just need to put this out to the cosmos again, but I am sooooo excited to be a part of this forum build and I can't wait to get this piece of art in my hands.

They can customize anything pretty easily. It's a pretty small, nimble, family run company.. At the end of the day you're putting food on their table.


I know I used to think it was this big factory production. I was lucky enough to get a tour last year. I was blown away with what they do with like 15 people on staff. Other than the CNC milling, everything else is a hand process.

I took some pictures as well.. should have taken more.

I was supremely impressed that Matt was able to reorganize the workflow through the building in their newer Oxnard facility. They also have a climate controlled building within a building, constructing all of the acoustics at a specific humidity.. not many manufacturers have so much control over humidity in their facilities.

Part of me wants an estimated delivery timeframe, but another part of me wants the Suprise.

Surprises are the best. I don't know about everyone else, but if I have a trip or event planned, when that day comes my hype has died down. But, if I'm looking forward to something and then, BAM, there it is, it hits me while my excitement is still high.

[StringPicker6]

Well said. I will embrace and enjoy the anticipation!

I was looking at the forum VI waiting room thread, and it looks like the order window ended June 2021 and forum guitars started shipping December 2021. Looks like it could be a few more months until this Forum VII goes out. Maybe a Christmas treat!

If you're trying to cheer me up, it's not working.

Having had the distinct pleasure of playing Myopic Squirrel's 000-40, I've had a taste of how my 000 forum VII will feel and sound, and i am incredibly excited for its eventual delivery. These are going to be wonderful guitars.
