This is a repost from the electric guitar section about my brand new Forum V.

I got Forum V #3 last night.  Man this thing is sweet!  I love everything about it.  This thing looks great, feels great, and man o' man does this thing sound great. 

There are so many usable tones in every position.  And the mini - this thing is so cool!  It does exactly what I hoped it would.  You get that nice, thick, smooth neck tone, all without any of the associated muddiness of a hot hum in the neck position.  The neck doesn't seem to overdrive very easily, but I am more than OK with that because it sounds fantastic clean to crunchy.  The bridge full-HB is no slouch either, obviously.  It just screams rock, this thing sings like a rugged gentleman.  The guitar itself is just so balanced and resonant, it is hard to get it to sound bad.

Long story short, I am very happy!  I am obviously still firmly in honeymoon phase, but all signs point to this guitar being a lifer.  Thanks to everyone at Larrivee for doing such a great job on these.  A very special thanks to the facilitators of this process: Matt, Ted, and Andrew.

Anyway, sorry to babble, here are some more pics.

Call PM me I may be able to help

I am absolutely in love with this guitar right now.  I am really surprised that there doesn't seem to be many mini/full combo's out there.  I guess you have to make some adjustments to get the pickups at comparable levels for switching and the middle selection, but it is just so worth it to me.

Thanks for the compliments, this is a sweet guitar.  I was informed that in these pics, the wound strings are not in their saddle slots.  Oops, I don't know how I didn't notice that.
