The Forum III was a 12 fret LS body which was brought out of retirement. Jean Larrivee bought some 35 year old Italian Spruce and offered it on this batch...so there were mahogany/IS, rosewood/IS and all mahogany models made in the LS body. These had herrringbone roseetes, and herringbone purfling and cutaways were offered on this batch...although no shiny stuff was allowed on this edition of the forum guitar. About 80 of these were built (78 signed/numbered issues plus a few unsigned/not numbered guitars escaped from Vancouver...)

The Forum III Guitar was shipped March 16, 2009. There was a factory tour of the Vancouver, BC plant where these were built.
