Would the OM-3R, L-O3R, or L-03E be best for me?

I am buying a new Larrivee. I have an OM-3R on order, but it has been delayed. During my wait I have been reading a lot about the L being much better for strumming. As that is what I will use the guitar for, I am tempted to switch. My dealer has offered to allow me to choose between two Ls that he has in stock, an OM-3, or I could wait for the OM3R. Any suggestions?

I love the L body size. and yes, it will be superior to the OM for strumming, but what i like best is the L for soloing and fingerpicking. I am 6'4", and the L is a great fit, and though smaller than a dread, packs a killer punch. granted the OM will be a bit more comfy, but I no longer gas for the OM size, the L has become my all around, go to, no GAS for any other, guitar!

thumbs up for the L-03R, the R adding a little depth and character to the tone....but a regular L-03 hog would be sweet too. i got lucky, blesed with a walnut L-03.....be careful though dude, total GAS killer..... :bgrin:

If you are mainly strumming, then yes, I think you will be happy with switching to an L.  Either one is great, I would go with rosewood if given a choice.  I love the overtones.  My OM-03R is my #1 guitar, but if I mainly strummed, my L would be #1.

I vote L for the strummer, I have strum my L as hard as I could imagine (just to see how it handled it) and it was clear as a bell.

I mainly fingerpick so either works for me, although it's mostly OM at the moment. :guitar

Thanks for your input guys. I'm going with the L-03R. It actually worked out that the OM was delayed as the L is on hand. Jason is setting it up as we speak and will ship shortly. Oh heck YEAH!  :nanadance

Just wanted to say welcome and Roll Tide. Nice to see another Bama person on board. I recently acquired an OM-03. In a way, I wish I had held out for an L also.

Way to go bamacrazy!!!  You will not be disappointed! 

I will echo the sentiment...and, as already mentioned, we need pictures...lots of pictures!!

Congrats on bringing another Larrivee into Ala. But be forewarned. If you go to Auburn TAKE YOUR OWN ICE. The girl who had the recipe graduated. I had to drink warm sweet tea today! :humour:

Slowfingers,

How does the OM 3 compare to your M6 Gloss in regard to tone and playability?
