Title: Thinking The Unthinkable
Post by: Koamon on October 07, 2004, 04:01:22 PM
I am thinking about putting my OMV-10 Koa up for sale to fund a Brazillian RW Larrivee but am reluctant to do so. As such I am posting this in hopes that you all will be totally disinterested and I can pan this crazy idea.

Th OMV-10 is marked on the interior label as a Special Edition. It has a uniform silky spruce top, and the Koa back and sides has incredible tiger-stripped flame (like a 10 Top Les Paul) that is IMHO, reserve grade Koa. It has the standard model 10 appointments abalone scroll markers on the fingerboard and on the bridge wings. abalone trim around the top and flamed maple bindings. It is  ungraded to include Gold Gotoh Contour tuners with Black Knobs and a Tor-Tise pickguard, Ivory TUSQ Bridgepins with abalone dots, Bone saddle, and is stereo jacked with a Dean Markley Sweetspot under the saddle and a Barcus Berry Soundboard transducer under the top and near the bridge by the bass side. The set up and all work done by UnclRob. Includes the hardshell case. I am the original owner and have all the paperwork including the warranty registration form which was never sent in. If it was hanging in a shop you wouldn't even see the standard "shop wear" and you'd swear it was new.

I have easily $2,650 invested in it. Will sell it shipped for $2,200.

Sorry I can't post digital pictures but Email me with any questions.                

Thanks for looking, Owen

Okay, I'm totally disinterested. Feel better now?  :P

Besides, "Brazmon" doesn't have the ring to it...

If you feel you have to add something other than Koa, join the brigade. Buy some Tasmanian Koa!  B)

Well so much for a bad idea...consider the OMV-10K off the sales floor.

          Thanks for all who responded,
                           Eternally the same.

Well, Owen, I'm glad we disabused you of that notion. Now for a blackwood, that would have been another story.  :lol:

For anyone who wants to see what they missed, look down in the Pictures section.

Rob is always the subtle one, isn't he.  :P

You are very welcome. Photobucket has to be the slickest and easiest thing going for hosting these pictures. Did you check out the C-10K Custom to which I referred you in the Larrivee Guitar section above? That has your name all over it. I'm at least 5K miles away from it and I can still hear it calling to you like a siren of old!  ;)
