While not much of a fan of the 16 series, I have tried several OM-21 and they are nothing to sneeze at.  They are a players' guitar.  Nothing fancy but well made rosewood b/s, spruce top OM.  I too would like to know what is the one Larrivee that replaces 2 Martins.  I'll keep my OM-03R but the OM-21 is a no slouch.

I got my L-03K from Dave a few of weeks ago.  I haven't put it down or looked back yet.  Awesome piece of wood with tone to match.  If it's the one showing on his website, that's another beauty with some really nice flame in the wood.  Go for it!

That's why I think it is an L-03K. I was curious too. I see that Tom Young sold his OM-03BW but kept his OM-21 so it made me curious.

I've had several inquiries, thank you to those folks.  2 OM-21s have just sold on eBay, 1 at a little over $1100, and another at over $1300.  I priced this reasonably to avoid the eBay "experience," but it is prime time to list it there with no OM-21 currently listed.   I hope somebody will take advantage of this soon.  I can provide references from this forum and also my eBay feedback.  I'll need to think about eBay soon.

"OM-21s have just sold on eBay, 1 at over $1300."

You mean to tell me that someone bought a used (no Martin warranty) OM-21 on ebay,  when for less than 200.00 they could have had a new one?  Wow.... sounds like ebay is the place to for sellers..  :SHK>

As a reference, I bought my LS-19 from pigtown 2 years ago. He's a reliable person and good communicator.

Wow.... I am stunned that someone wood pay within 150.00 of a new one...

I'm not. The OM-21 is a really nice guitar but at times is difficult to find new. When I bought my OM-03R in March, I started my search intending to buy  an OM-21 but could not find anyone who had them in stock.

My local dealer just got one in stock a few weeks ago. (first one he has had in over 2 years)  I could hardly walk out of the store without it.  It really is a very good guitar.  This one (pigtown's) is a good buy for someone.
  But alas, I am guitar poor...

Micarta for both the fingerboard and bridge I believe.



Is the OM-21 still available? If so please send pics and accepted payment method info to chris@chriscordle.com

Thanks

Can you send pics of the OM-21 to me?

Also, is it a newer one with the bone nut and saddle?
