Martin 000-28 Vs Larrivee Om-09

[slowslow]

I'd like to hear some (preferably unbiased) opinion on comparing these 2 guitars.

slowslow,

I'm sure someone here has played both guitars and will be able to offer an opinion...if we're lucky, it may even be relatively unbiased!  :lol:

One thing I would be fairly certain of, though...the Larrivée would be the better bargain when you consider fit/finish/tone vs. price.

While opinions are nice, and people here aren't afraid to share them, your best best might be to go over to a music store yourself and compare the two models.

Like almost all Martins (except the backpacker) they tend to have a deeper bass tone. Otherwise is difficult to compare em. Larrivee is less expensive and has a little more bling bling. Soundwise no comparison, you like Martin tone or Larrivee, or like me both of em. Both are wonderful guitars.

The 000 are short scale, while the Larrys are standard scale. A closer comparison would be a Martin OM-28. Try those and see what you think.

i think that is the guitar i meant to say.... i just got confused after looking it up on their website

The 000-28VS is a slothead 12 fretter with a real wide neck. It has been my holy grail. I think it's the best martin has. I say it HAS been my holy grail, but I'll probably never pursue it. I'd be more inclined to go for a Larrivée 000-60, which is the best comparison in the Larrivée line. Huge sound, and most I've come across are just - alive.
