The Forum VI Waiting Room

[Riverbend]

Well, I'm sitting around sort of patiently waiting.
So, we've got another possible 11 months more. Somebody help me !

Looks like you've got 3 nice distractions! I've been twiddling on my mandolin a lot, and realized I'm soloing on guitar next month at an event and need to start playing one of those again. Sure love my OM-40! Oh, but those LS-03 Forum VI's are going to be special.

Awfully quiet... What news from Oxnard?

I'm not sure if it was listed earlier. What were the final numbers among the 14 for LS, LSV's and lefty/righty?

Pretty sure it is....
5 - LSV RH
8 - LS RH
1 - LS LH

Cool! Thanks for that Mike.

Update
John sent an email today, general in nature.
Turns out we have orders for 15 guitars, not 14. One came in after June 30, but was able to be included. John said it was a forum member. John had mentioned awhile back he had been talking to a forum member who might order the F-VI but might want to remain anonymous. John did not mention if it was that person, so maybe we will hear from whoever Order #15 is.
The orders have all been passed along to Oxnard and the next step is the F-VI orders will be put on "the start list". I don't know how long it is in between being put on "the start list" before Larrivee actually "starts", but I am hoping production photos will be coming soon.

Thanks for the updates, John and Mike!

At least tell us about any Larrivees you currently have and what motivated your late decision!

Steve's timeline....
Ordered July 4.
Told Mike on July 5. I didn't say anything to the group about who Order #14 was in order to respect your anonymity  
You have NO IDEA how difficult it was for me to not tell anyone. I actually duct taped my fingers together to keep your secret.
To your everlasting credit, you tried to provide cover for the potentially mysterious F-VI Order #15, for which you deserve honor, and a place on the pedestal, for today only.
(EDIT) - You know, I can't figure out how or why I got my totals confused, cause on July 1, I thought we had 14, but when I looked at the spreadsheet, I only had 13. Then I remembered your note to me about your order and fixed the spreadsheet to 14. Then Clint came along and here we are.

I have a 2015 D-02 and a 2014 OM-09.  Life has gotten in the Way a bit and the pandemic downtime allowed me some time to play more.  Especially with my two sons (15 & 21)., they can play my D but not my OM    I now have a second home in Ohio because of work and I wanted to have another Larrivee for that home.  The Fender T-Bucket that is there isn't the most pleasing to the ears but the flamed maple is gorgeous to look at it.  I had been shopping for a new to me guitar on craigslist and marketplace but nothing i truly liked came up.  I reached out to you late because i didn't want to spend that much for a guitar.  I realized that having an LS would be perfect and I could explain the cost to the Ministress of Finance after I got on the list

I can just feel it! Some new build pictures are coming soon!

Or, maybe it's wishful thinking.

Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I hope we get something soon.

I've been wondering the same thing myself.

I cannot believe I missed another forum guitar! I logged in just to see if there was one in progress
