Rare, Larrivee OM-03 Flamed Maple!!-Changed my mind.

[ttchen]

Hello:
Here's a very rare OM-03 in Flamed Maple for sale or for trade.  I have been using it for youth worship.  I need to get a little bigger guitar for our growing group.  I am looking to sell it for $925 shipped(obo) or trade for a L shaped Larrivee, Webber Roundbody, or anything in between a dreadnaught and an om.  The serial number is #57299.  I bought it from The Podium.  This guitar is played often so it has some imperfections.  I will send all the "not-so-pretty pics" upon request.
This guitar includes a K&K PW pickup, a bone saddle, a tor-tis pickguard, set of gold tuners, and a new TKL Elite archtop tweed case.  The nut is 1 11/16".  The action is set low.  This is a great sounding guitar.  If you are looking for a flamed maple/spruce om, you can get a great deal here.  This is the only OM-03 in flamed maple I have seen.  Feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Dan, it is a beautiful guitar.  Flamed maple is probably my personal favorite.   I took the pickguard from my Paragon Parlor.  I believe it is a Greven pickguard 30's.

Can you describe the tone, compared to OM-03 or OM-03R??  I haven't ever played a maple OM, but I think of maple as having a more trebly sound. Great looking wood on the back.

The spruce/maple combination gives it a punchy, responsive, and bass/mid rich sound.  The bass and the mid are very strong for this body size.  You can hear the "rumble".  The treble is bright but not tinny or harsh, I don't like overly bright trebles.  I can hear some overtones and good sustain in the tone.  The sound has a richness to it accompanies by a relative quicker decay than say rosewood.  Again, like you said, this sound description is somewhat subjective.  But this is what I would describe it.
Thanks.

a lot of you have asked about the tone of this guitar.  after playing it over and over again trying to find words to describe the sound, I have decided to keep it a little longer.  this is a really nice sounding guitar. 
sincerely,
