My new om-03r came in today from Jason at Notable Guitars. What an awesome little beauty. A little more defined mids and highs. I'm really diggin the smaller body and no frills looks. I'm holding off on the pics because I'm going to Orsino-ize the satin finish tomorrow and post before and after pics. Thanks again Jason for all of your help. You have gone above and beyond just selling me a guitar.

Lots of people getting new guitars this past week or two.  What is everyone's secret.  Come on let me in on it... I need to convince my wife that I need a new guitar.

Glad your happy with yours Chris.  Looking forward to the pics.

They are sweet guitars - congratulations! I just I hope they're not gonna run out of these soon.  :o  

I too purchased an OM 03R recently & am likewise knocked out by the sound of it - very different from my mahogany-backed OO 05 (which is also a fine sounding guitar), much more of that rosewood punch in the notes - the description that comes to mind is that it feels kinda 'springy' to play; have done the bone saddle-swap, & it now has some serious low-note growl with a slide. They're superb instruments aren't they? & a steal at price - enjoy yours..

I see new OM-03R posts on this forum almost every day.  I'm beginning to think it's Larrivee's most popular model...in an OM at least.  I got mine from Dave at GA.  I play fingerstyle 99% of the time and love it for that but it sounds good no matter what you play on it.
