This month yet another OO is on the home page of the forum. I haven't actually done a tally but that's a lot of OO's for GOTM.
      Plus now we learn from Matthew that the new 40 series will include OO's. Notable Guitars has started receiving them and it has definitely caught my attention like no other 40 series offering.
    Gotta like these little wonders.

The OO-40 caught my attention as well. Great price for a lot of guitar. Would love to get my paws on one.

Clearly a conspiracy to try to tempt me into buying another Larrivee.  A OO-40R might be just the ticket.  Matt is sneaky that way.

The 00 size, shape, dimensions from Larrivee is just a very very classy, and appealing shoe to the eye for starters.
It's a sheer beauty to play as well, as far as comfort. For my own preference, the 25.5 scale is an added bonus, and certainly not lacking in bass response.
"Senior" member means "old" right?
Like over 50?

Too many guitars to list here.
Too few brain cells to be bothered with...

Oh I hear ya! Good thing I'm on a tight budget or I might fall to to temptation.  :guitar

I ordered my OO-40R from Jason today. It's being shipped from Montana to Texas starting today.

My OO-05 is in the shop, 12th fret hump at the join.  That problem has been there for years.  I'm finally taking care of it.  Dan, let us know how the -40 sounds.  I'd love to try one out.

Sorry to hear about the neck problem on your OO. I will start a thread on the OO-40R. I've had three other
Larrivee OO's, so I believe the comparison should be something to help others contemplating one for themselves. At the least it will be more information than I had.

I'll be looking for the review as I'm interested in the spruce/hog (maybe OM/000) version but would need to sell one of my other guitars to make room (and that's a tough choice for me).

That sounds good to me Norm. Our anniversary is coming up soon, so the wife and I will be going to the hill Country. Then I need to go to the Ozarks for a week. But after that I'm sure we can hook up. Our oldest daughter and her husband live pretty close to you so we come that way more often now.
     I'd like you to see and hear my 14 year old D-02 as well. I'm very impressed with its tone and volume.

You got it. Keep me informed, here, messaging, or email. Gee, phone calls work too.

I look forward to seeing you again, Danny.

When I started this thread my interest was aroused even more in the 40 series with the possibility of the OO series being included. Even though my shoulder has healed enough to play dreads again I know at my age it can't last. So having a OO available for most of my playing is a big benefit. Plus Jason at Notable had the OO-40 made in Rosewood and I'm mahogany heavy at this time.
       So it went from "interest" to "ordering" very quickly. A tax bill that was fairly substantial has been paid, so the way was available financially as well. The price Jason offers us forumites is very reasonable as well.

        Anyway, so here I am tracking the Fed ex shipment coming from Montana. It arrived in Colorado last night and left at 3am. It may already be in north Texas and soon it'll be in central Texas. It's due to arrive Tuesday. I can't help feeling like a child waiting for his birthday to come.
I really didn't think I'd buy another new Larrivee this year. But as my wife responded when I spoke with her before placing the order,  it's really no surprise at all.

Mine is due to arrive on Monday.  I'm with you on the birthday-waiting-child thing.

I am really curious if the new bracing offers a substantial difference.
