The Larrivee OM-03 is an acoustic guitar from Larrivee’s Recording Series. This model has a solid Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. Larrivee builds some of the most consistently outstanding acoustic guitars we stock here at Merchant City Music, and, in-keeping with the company’s philosophy of quality over quantity, they don’t come around that often. This OM model has a medium body with full scale length, fitting itself to many styles, particularly fingerpicking.

Larrivee’s Recording Series of instruments are designed to offer Larrivee’s core components of all-solid-wood construction and American craftsmanship at a frankly phenomenal price. Supplied with a Larrivee hard case, the OM-03 Spruce/Mahogany guitar is now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store’s dedicated acoustic room. Every instrument we sell is fully checked over and professionally set up before dispatch, for your peace of mind. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and worldwide.

Larrivée OM-03 Recording Series Guitar

Larrivee prides itself on being plugged in to the entire process of producing a finished, hand-made guitar, from log selection on the forest floor to final quality control in their Oxnard, California workshop. Their aim to build not the most guitars, but the best, is evident on the OM03. Hand selection of the woods has ensured that the top, back and sides operate optimally from a tonal perspective; the guitar has a very balanced sound, characteristic of the classic Sitka Spruce and Mahogany tonewood combination.

The OM-03 features ebony headplate, fretboard and bridge, with a bone nut and saddle. Combined, these components maximise the guitar’s resonance transfer from strings to body, as does the company’s signature handfit dovetail neck joint. Multi-strip purfling adorns the top, while the whole body - including the fretboard - is bound in maple. The pickguard is finished in Larrivee’s signature tortoiseshell, while the bridge shape is Larrivee’s standard. Simplicity is also the key with the fretboard - punctuated by white dot fret markers - and headplate - a simple inlaid Larrivee logo with no binding.

With this combination of quality and price, we could sell these guitars all day. The only consolation is that if there were more of them, they wouldn't be as good!
