This limited edition instrument has been expertly crafted in California, using only all-solid wood, as here with this OM-03 W, we have a solid Walnut top, back & sides, with a Mahogany neck and an Ebony fingerboard. The all Walnut design delivers a distinct sound with a prominent low-end and smooth, even response across the frequency range.
This exquisitely hand-made Larrivée OM-03 W superbly demonstrates their renowned attention to detail. The single piece Mahogany neck is fitted with an African Ebony fretboard. Canadian Maple is used for the body binding top and body. The OM-03 W also features Larrivée’s symmetrical parabolic X-Bracing, hand fit dovetail neck joint, rounded Larrivee headstock, inlaid Larrivée logo.
Acoustic Magazine’s review noted: “Every conceivable facet of the OM-03’s construction is just ludicrously good. In all my days, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a guitar builder that can rival the consistency of quality that Larrivée offer”. “Without a doubt my favourite element of the tone is the bass response. We talk about clarity of the low end but this is something else – almost baritone-like in its response and definition, especially if you experiment with some altered tunings. It’s a beautiful, expansive and dark tone that begs to be played and had me hooked from the first note”.
