Larrivee's well-appointed and buttery smooth OM!
This traditional OM from Larrivee combines the best nuances of an old Martin OM-28 with the modern, classically-informed sensibilities that Larrivee has come to be known for.
The fret-board feels gloriously flat. It makes complex fingerings and nimble finger-style a breeze. The profile is shallow so you can skip (pick) along without getting your feet wet.
The tone is earthy and ethereal at the same time. There's a direct, focused quality when you lay into it, but it whispers like an angel when you hold back.
It's got the even mid-range that you'd want for rhythm and enough overtone content and highs and lows to play the part of the whole "orchestra".

About Larrivée:
Today, we are a new generation of talented guitar makers - building instruments as extraordinary and unique as the people who craft them – and who play them. We are inspired by the passion and guided by the lifetime of experiences of our leader, Jean Larrivée, whose legendary craftsmanship still finds its way into every guitar that bears his name.
Our guitars are built with only the finest solid woods available - no plys, laminates or synthetic woods are ever used in construction. We use FSC wood and engage in as much selective logging as possible. This means we like to be there, in the forest, personally taking part. Imagine, when we begin to create your instrument, we begin on the forest floor.
Above all, our goal is 'affordable luxury' - we aim to put high-end guitars into the hands of all players. We don't want to build the most guitars. We just want to build the best.
