Title: 00-40 vs 00-03 vs 00-03mt your thoughts?
Post by: Watchmanjc on April 29, 2015, 03:20:17 PM
I like small guitars! I currently play 000 style hog but looking for a 00 Larrivee to be my main git. Anybody have one of these? Your thoughts are appreciated. I recently toured the Oxnard factory and live close by. I was so impressed with their operation, quality and warm welcome.

I love my Larrivee OO-05 and OO-03vMTSB (deep breath - satin, cutaway, hog top, sunburst)  very much. My 2 Taylor's languish in their cases. Nuff said.

Never played a OO-04 but the difference between my spruce topped -05 and hog topped -03 is night and day. The -05 spruce top is simply brighter than a hog top. Both are comfortable to play, sound great and I'll probably never own a 14 fret acoustic again.

Have this craving for donuts for some reason. . .  Hmmmm

Forum members Dependan and Heads-up could provide you with some good thoughts as they have  owned a vew OO Larrivee's with different woods and such.  I own an OM-50 and a all-hog OO.  Love them both.  As jpmist says the spruce has a much brighter sound that the hog.  But you have an all-hog OOO so you know that.  The all-hog OO Larrivee (IMHO) is twice the guitar as it's equivelant by other makers.  Can't go wrong.

I love my walnut/cedar 00 12 fret. It has warmth for days! Sustain volume and resonance!

I don't have any pics and I'm not quite sure how to add them on here. Check out wildwoods website. There are pics of my guitar.
