The Beginning
Since many Forum-ites and Larri-loyalists lament the fact that there are orphaned Larri-models...
(i.e. OOs, OMVs) as in out-of-production models...
What if enough Forum-ites commission Mr. Jean Claude Larrivee himself & his sons to produce... a Special Order batch for a discontinued model...
say through 12th Fret, Guitar Adoptions, Notable, Trinity... as distributors - that just about covers the continent and both sides of the border.
We'll stick to the RW-Spruce and HOG-Spruce variety only.
Please keep your comments brief - (1) specify Larri-MODEL ONLY you wish to order.... (2) Yes or No - do you think this is possible?
ricky
SERIOUSLY... I guess this is a survey / vote ===> so we can have our dream most cherished Larri to own... or you can tell me if I'm on GAS-delusion?

The Beginning
F-IV special order 00-03MT by the forum & Trinity Guitars
YUP. Jim is going to get us the information on pricing and timing. But we are going to be able to order some 00-03 MT's.
There will only be one guitar NO options for this order a 00-03 MT
Please don't ask for other options. This is all Larrivee will make this time.
So if we keep it simple as has been discussed in the 00-03 thread then we can get this done easily and quickly.
So who will be in for sure? I know of 3 already including myself that are ready, but I'll let y'all say so.
