The sun was nice....the air was warm...and I HAD to play out side for awhile...in the process I thought the light was good for some photos too.
So here are some shots of my OM-05MT...she is only about 2 months old...
Enjoy

STOP IT BLUE!!!!!
That is one sweet looking OM!! Wow, absolutely gorgeous!
Larrivee does mahogany right!!!
Very nice! The gloss finish does add another dimension to the look of mahogany.
Very nice! As Jimmy Carter didn't quite say, I'm having lust in my heart for your guitar! Hope you don't mind.
I agree that the gloss really brings out depth in the mahogany...I played and OM-03 this weekend and the satin finish was nice but seemed very flat to me...the Mahagonay on my baby also seems to be quite a bit darker than on many of the 03's I've seen...I'm not sure if that is a function of the finish as well. here is a larger verision of one of the shots that really shows the depth of the wood...love that maple binding too...too bad the fretboard binding isn't maple too.
Thanks for the kind Comments....Mary Helen appreciates flattery... ^_^

I think the gloss finish really brings out the depth of the wood and richness of the colour. Now stop posting those pictures... :WNK>
Really nice pics, Blue! I agree that the maple binding makes a beautiful contrast to the 'hog. Sweet!
Cheers,

Yay for new pictures!! Nice lighting too..... -_-
Just don't accidentally grab your OM when you go to start a fire in the fireplace!
yea...having wood heat kept me up at night worrying about humidity and my OM's delicate complection....I think I might have to invest in room/house humidifier next fall...maybe I won't be as paranoid then.
No worry about mistaking the guitar for firewood...I rarely let her out of my "studio" (ie spare bedroom) so she stays away from anything with sharp corners.
taking her outside was a big step for me...she made it back safely...maybe next time she can make it to the car and back....then to a friends house.....dingophobia is a terrible thing.... ^_^

Nice Blue I'm thinking my next guitar or I should say my backup guitar is going to be another hog.
Here's the one I have now it's a 1971 Ventura she's in the shop getting an upgrade from brass pins,bridge,and nut to bone. can't wait to hear her.
Hmmm lets' try that again

sounds like a beauty....but I can't see her....just that angry red X

Pics there now...looks great...got any pictures of the back and sides? I would love to see them.
Cheers,
Blue
Sorry to hijack the thread, Blue but that's a cool guitar SR!
(Of course i like your OM-05MT, too. I love my forum MT, but the gloss top sure looks killer)
Not a prob janky...I've never come across a Ventura...looks great how does she sound?
Cheers,
Blue
Thanks Blue,and Janky :mellow:
Blue yours is nice also that's what caused me to post mine in your thread, :GRN>
Sorry no pics of back and sides yet. The back pretty much looks like the top and the sides have a more lighter color. Will try and get better pics if I can my brother is the camera man in the family and his is not working right now.
I just got her back from the guitar shop and she now has a bone nut,saddle and plastic pins so far the sound is now more full,at least to my ears. :GRN>
All I can say is I think I'm finding my tone and it is sounding more and more like all mahogany is it. :GRN> :GRN>
note to self: stop looking at those pic topics, it ain't helpin' the GAS! :TON>
Superb hog top Blue (and nice one too SR), I need to have one some time in my future. :GRN>
