Hello:
Here's a very rare OM-03 in Flamed Maple for sale or for trade. I have been using it for youth worship. I need to get a little bigger guitar for our growing group. I am looking to sell it for $925 shipped(obo) or trade for a L shaped Larrivee, Webber Roundbody, or anything in between a dreadnaught and an om. The serial number is #57299. I bought it from The Podium. This guitar is played often so it has some imperfections. I will send all the "not-so-pretty pics" upon request.
This guitar includes a K&K PW pickup, a bone saddle, a tor-tis pickguard, set of gold tuners, and a new TKL Elite archtop tweed case. The nut is 1 11/16". The action is set low. This is a great sounding guitar. If you are looking for a flamed maple/spruce om, you can get a great deal here. This is the only OM-03 in flamed maple I have seen. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Dan, it is a beautiful guitar. Flamed maple is probably my personal favorite. I took the pickguard from my Paragon Parlor. I believe it is a Greven pickguard 30's.

Still available. Many inquiries but no deal made yet.
Can you describe the tone, compared to OM-03 or OM-03R?? I haven't ever played a maple OM, but I think of maple as having a more trebly sound. Great looking wood on the back.
The spruce/maple combination gives it a punchy, responsive, and bass/mid rich sound. The bass and the mid are very strong for this body size. You can hear the "rumble". The treble is bright but not tinny or harsh, I don't like overly bright trebles. I can hear some overtones and good sustain in the tone. The sound has a richness to it accompanies by a relative quicker decay than say rosewood. Again, like you said, this sound description is somewhat subjective. But this is what I would describe it.
Thanks.
a lot of you have asked about the tone of this guitar. after playing it over and over again trying to find words to describe the sound, I have decided to keep it a little longer. this is a really nice sounding guitar.
sincerely,
Tim
