I think they are a fairly new guitar type and a little on the pricey side, so that may explain it.

I'll chime in... I played a beautiful OM-60 with tobacco sunburst top at Martin Music in Cordova, TN. In comparison with the OM-09 and the L-09 on hand, the OM-60s tone was too dry for my taste. As I've stated before in this forum, I like the sound of Jean Larrivee's modern designs versus his vintage models as a rule, although I have played some very nice 000s that were very tempting. Just my opinion...hope it helps.

If you're talking about the guitar on the opening page of the Larrivee website, that's not an OM-09, it a P-09 parlor.  The 09 series is supposed to be a higher grade wood than the 03/03R's but the 05 series is mahogany while the 09 is, well, just about everything else I guess but mostly rosewood and maple.
