F-IV special order 00-03MT by the forum & Trinity Guitars

[Queequeg]

[...Jim's site says he still has the two Trinity Western's, but if they also require another separate preamp, I'm not sure I want to invest that much in amplification for a guitar that won't get used 'out' much. Anyone know about this (I'll also e-mail Jim, but I know he's busy)?


Trinity Western has active pre-amp so it doesn't require external pre-amp

If you're referring to the K&K Pure Western Mini, that does not require a pre-amp (although some do use one with it). I did for a while and sold the pre-amp and still use just the K&K Pure Western mini alone through a Genz Benz Shenandoah Series 60 LT 60W 2x6.5 acoustic combo amp.
And if you refer to something else, I'm sorry but with over 1300 posts here I simply cannot wade through it all to find the reference. This thread has become just a skosh unmanageable.

Queequeg,

Thanks for your comments.  After some conversations via e-mail with Jim Holler, I've decided to go with the Active iBeam. Same principle, a little less money.

Same here.

  I think most know this already but I just want my guitar.

[BluesMan1]

   Denis & Frank, same as I'm doing now. Plus the Oasis humidifier. Tuners to come later if needed, or when I have some extra bucks. Put the pic of the OO-03MT that was posted for the GOTM. Just looks cool & simple, even w/o the hardware on it.
   And Denis, just have to tell you how much I've always liked that pic of you with a OO that was GOTM. Just a cool, simple pic, but with lots of character!

Thanks for the update, Jim!

[prof_stack]

Yes, thanks Jim!

Can you ask Larrivee to use hide glue and scallop the braces on mine, before tap toning the top?   

I'm looking forward to the little brown box.

Me too pleeeeeeease

All this HOG-top-mania has lead me to order a HOG-top classical guitar (see my link below).  I hope it sounds as good as my OM-05MT.  I have never seen a HOG top classical guitar.

Sounds great to me.

   Kathy is working hard to summarize all the add ons for the orders. You will all be getting emails in the next week with all you details and open balances.
I got the larger bushings in today and fit them to a Larrivee parlor. There is a photo posted on the form options page on the Trinity page of the front side look. Let us know as soon as you can so we can get more machines here for you. I have two sets in stock.  No photos form John yet. I will post as soon as I get any.

Is Photo2 on the FIV options page a picture of a Sta-tite tuner, without the retaining nut and washer?

I think that pic shows the actual round bushing that pushes down from the top and holds the tuner in place...they're much smaller (they don't have a washer) than the stock tuners...it's a different (some would say 'vintage') look. WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

You are correct.   There is no washer.   there are two types of bushings though.   The one in the picture is the round one and there is also a hex shaped bushing.  They are both smaller than the washers on the stock tuners.  There is no retaining nut;  just press fit bushing and the shaft of the tuner machine fits through it.  The machine is held in place with the two screws on the backing plate.

Ah.  I think I get it.  
But the bushing in the photo seemed to look a lot smaller than in the picture of your FIII.   I'll need to take a closer look.

[TrinityGuitars]

OK,  I just want to be completely clear, you have to email Kathy at Kathy@trinityguitars.com, myself at JimHoller@TrinityGuitars.com or call 716 665 4490 to give us the details of what you want with your guitar ie. options and set up. If you have done this thanks. No need to do it again. If not please take the time to review the list at http://www.trinityguitars.com/steelstr/larrivee/foruniv.html   I am follwing the discussion here but will not be able to take order information based on a forum post. As you might imagine it is just to confusing.  Hope you understand.  The conformation emails will start arriving in you inbox soon.  Some should already have them.
  Thanks for your help!   Jim Holler      I just know that you will be using this alot!
