Just out of curiosity - were there other 2 models made before as well, and if so when and were they also made via a dealer/s, and who were the dealers?

Zohn, A search will return 'almost' as many threads as one will get for Forum III. Forum I and Forum II were really the same guitar, just 2 orders placed about 3 months apart. The guitar was an OM-03 (mahogany only), 12fret neck, abalone rosette, mop Larrivee inlay, and your choice of either sitka spruce or mahogany face.   The order was managed by Jason at Notable Guitars.

I'd bet a donut that there were more spruce than hog top built.

I don't mind loosing a donut...but now I'd like to know for sure. Do you know for sure?
I spent about 20 minutes searching the old Forum Guitar (I) thread and the only real number I saw was the original breakdown of the first 12 guitars that got the whole ball rolling. That was 7 spruce and 5 'hog. But I know that run consisted of 17 once all the orders came in...and I'm not sure what the next five orders consisted of...
And I never really paid attention to the second run...because by that time I had a new guitar to play with....
I wonder if Jason has a record....

OK, after much searching this is what I found Forum8= Spruce 9= Hog Forum II9=Hog 1= Spruce (Jasons replacement) I think this info is correct but if someone knows better speak up.
