Pick up the phone and call Jim (the Lord of the List) or e-mail him.

Yup...I sent hiim an e-mail...heard back from him in 10 minutes, and this is at 5:50 Eastern time! He shoulda been on his way home for the day!

(I suspect you won't get a reply now until tomorrow morning...)

Thanks but I'd rather not bother him with another phone call. I emailed Jim yesterday but he didn't respond so I called earlier today to make sure he received my deposit. I forgot who I spoke with but he said that my deposit was received and that I was on the list. I just never thought to ask where I was on the list. I paid him on Monday.

                             UPDATE

       Jim has requested that the pick guard be put in the case and he will install it for those who want it on.

             Also he has tried repeatedly to get our particular specifications and will call Larrivee today.

    We have 10 definite orders and more that are tentative. We are getting there folks and Jim is trying hard.

Please e-mail Jim Holler for the price or any interest in the F-IV purchase.

     If anyone requests a price or information please tell them to e-mail Trinity and not PM.
      (That will make it all easier to keep up with)

thanks Jim  :thumbsup
Just call Jim or e-mail him, I think he would like it better that way now that the initial flurry of activity has subsided.

Sent my deposit off today, 12/4.  Another one on the way . . .  Thx to Randy R for the recommendation!

Welcome to the Forum and to the Forum IV. It was Randy who suggested I contact a dealer for a 00-03 MT to begin with. And then after I did he suggested that it should be a Forum guitar.


methinks Randy wants a 00-03MT  :nice guitar:

I guess I'll have to see what I can sell this weekend to scrounge up some money.

GREAT number 11 was the other number I thought that I would like to have. Since I have F-III #1 then it would be F-IV #11
                  F-III 1& F-IV 11           but it will be F-III 1 F-IV II    :rolleye:

                           Or maybe F-III & IV  1&2  nah...

            I got it        "1 2 III IV"  :whistling:


I'm a numbers man ya see

The way I understand it, FIV guitars going to people in Canada will be shipped directly from Larrivee in Vancouver, unless the buyer wants Jim to install a bone saddle.  In that case, the guitar would be shipped to Trinity Guitars, then back to Canada, passing through Canadian customs along the way.

If it had then they would be posted here. This is what they gave us so far. I sent a reply asking for a few more details , knowing that there would be more questions.
                When I get the answers I will post them.

Thanks Danny what other Specs do you see as being still outstanding?

    Jim just e-mailed me and said to expect the flat top case, but Larrivee may surprise us.
     The three piece neck isn't known, but if it's a big issue for someone then maybe they should not order the F-IV.
      Jim said it would be made in Canada.
     
      As far as tuners I would expect Pings, probably mini's. But again we may never know which ones until we receive the guitar.

       I'll re-post the specs. with these notes later.

Regarding the specs:

Is there no binding?

Jim
There will be binding (of course) This is a 03 series Larrivee guitar, unless the specs. are listed as different then we can expect that it will be built to 03 current standards.
                Jim will post a picture of the 00-03 as well when he receives one. Which is what the F-IV is based on.
