Congrats, *A slightly different Forum VI*, I'm sure you're going to love it.

Thanks, really miss the Forum VI that I had....  I think I will like this one even more... the 00-40MH I have feels and sounds great so I'm expecting the same from this one.

Very cool, congrats! I could be wrong, but if Moon wood is the same as Italian Spruce than I have owned a similar OO for over a decade and the Italian spruce gives it a really nice tone different from sitka.

Did you spring for any added bling? Gonna keep the pickguard on it? Standard bridge width or wider?

No special bling, no pickguard, standard bridge.

I really appreciate alpine spruce (moon wood)... I don't know what Italian spruce is.

I like the fret markers on the legacy 40's... I'm more into the sound than looks... but I do like the looks of American Walnut...

Oh re-tired, one other thing, there's no such thing as a *last Larrivée*.

Good luck with your custom order. You will be pleased with that body style and wood combination and you have two other nice guitars to play while you're waiting. When I placed my last custom order for a 00 in mid May 2004, it was shipped and in my hands by the first week of October, about 4.5 months from order to delivery. Jean, John Jr. and Matt will take good care of you. A question for your fellow forum nerds:

What is the scale length on your guitar? I have 25.5" scale on my Forum VI and a 24.75" scale on my 00 and I am comfortable with both. I also have scalloped bracing on both guitars. I also upgraded to bridge pins with abalone dots when the pro shop had a sale (Tortoise on the FVI and black ebony on the 00 to match the vine headstock inlay). That's worth considering.
