The Larrivee OM-03 is a limited edition acoustic guitar featuring Walnut back and sides with Alpine Moon Spruce top. The combination of OM body with Walnut back and sides results in a balanced instrument with a unique voice. The Moon Spruce top provides tonal focus, really bringing the walnut to life with its deeper, darker palette and singing, clear trebles. With a stunning vine inlay to the headstock, maple body and fretboard binding, and beautiful build quality throughout, this limited edition OM-03 is a pleasure to behold and to play.

Larrivee guitars are built in small numbers with a focus on quality. As such, this limited edition model represents a singular opportunity to obtain an even rarer variant. Supplied with a Larrivee hard case, the OM-03 Walnut Ltd 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 Walnut Limited Edition

Larrivee’s guitars are always an occasion to have in store; numbers are generally limited due to their hand built nature. This Walnut OM03 model is a particular rarity, with only a handful having been built. Unique tonewoods have been used for the top, back and sides, while an abalone vine inlay adorns the headstock.

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 OM-03 Ltd. Hand selection of the woods has ensured that the top, back and sides perform optimally together.

Solid European Alpine Spruce - used for the soundboard - has been a staple of instrument-making for centuries, and is increasingly difficult to source. Its long-valued sonic focus is here paired with stunning figured Walnut, which produces a darker resonance and clear trebles. The bone nut and saddle ensure that all vibrations from the strings make their way directly into the soundbox.

The OM 03 features an ebony headplate, fretboard and bridge, with a bone nut and saddle. These components maximise the guitar’s resonance transfer from strings to body, as does the company’s signature handfit dovetail neck joint. In terms of aesthetics, the OM 03 Walnut has stunning Maple binding to the body and fretboard. The pickguard is finished in Larrivee’s signature tortoiseshell, while the bridge shape is Larrivee’s standard.
