I have always been partial to Larrivée guitars. Their craftsmanship is second to none, and they invariably have a remarkable sound.

The OM ("Orchestra Model") is a smaller bodied instrument originally developed by C.F. Martin and Co., using the 000-body size but with scalloped bracing and the 1/2 inch longer scale of a dreadnought.

This particular guitar is nearly like new, having only a few slight marks to indicate that it is a "used" instrument.

With its hardshell case, it's here for $2150.

	The Sitka spruce top is clean, and has an abalone rosette and herringbone binding..			The rosewood back and sides have some handsome figure; We washed out this photo's contrast to show the grain.
	The simple peghead has rosewood overlayment.			The open tuners are engraved.
	The one-piece mahogany neck has no dings or scratches. Note that a heel pin has been installed.			The inlay in the ebony fingerboard is a diamond MOP pattern. There is no fret wear to speak of.
	The fingerboard binding is ivoroid, while the body is bound in natural maple.			As mentioned, the tuners have handsome engraving.
