I have obviously owned many Larrivees in my day, but in the last two years or so, I had made a move predominantly to dreads.  However, I can't play the 1 11/16 anymore so that ruled out Larrivee's.
I had been living in an apartment and didn't have my recording gear set up over the last two years and the two dreads I have are OBNOXIOUSLY loud and hard to harness with a recording mike (I'm a purist)  So I reasoned that I needed a small bodied instrument again (really had to twist my arm)  Today, I received an OM-09 that is a 2003 CA guitar that had a VERY minor finish problem from a gentleman in Pennsylvania.....now, I have owned two of these before, but had forgotten just how "sexy" they look and sound......it's been a while since I was so excited about a new instrument and I have owned Taylor 9 series (all of them) and many other very high end instruments....this little nine is the "Jelly for my peanut butter" as Stixx on the Taylor forum says!! :P

i don't understand..... what kind of guitar is it?  you said the nut width ruled out Larrivee's, but then said you got an OM-9 CA.  isn't that a California made Larrivee??  

or did you get one of those CA carbon guitars??

:unsure: i've never claimed to be all that bright, but did i miss something here?

Congrats on the OM-09.  I had one and it was very nice.  Only reason I got rid of mine was the neck had a heavy gloss finish on it, which was a bit different in the first place.  I just never got comfy with it.
But it sure did sing.
BTW, I'm with you on the narrow neck.  I got to play an OM-50 the other day and it is amazing.  If it only had a 1 3/4 neck. (sigh)

Yeah,
I was very impressed with the OM-50, but I just can't get my short stubby fingers into those little spaces anymore....SC, what I said is that the narrow nut width ruled out the Larrivee dreads, so I had to go to another manufacturer.....the Larrivee dreads are all 1 11/16.....The guitar I bought is an OM-09 with 1 3/4....

sorry,  I don't have a digi cam.....I have owned many Larry's and this one easily has the prettiest, most distinct rosewood....I have an opportunity to pick up an L-09 to match and as soon as my Tacoma DR-38 sells, it's a done deal! :P

Wow, Dave, you'd fit right in here.  We have the highest Spam consumption in the US and no doub't rice too.  Spam musubi (rice ball) is one of my favorites and yes it's great when you add a layer of egg between the Spam and rice. :D

fitness1 when you sell your Tacoma maybe you could get a digi cam too so we can see your babies.

the next baby may be a custom goodall or something similar, so I will be sure and send pics of that along (the closest thing to a kid I'll ever get!!) :D
