Larrivee aims to provide "affordable luxury," and the OM-40R acoustic guitar truly delivers. Crafted from all-solid FSC-certified tonewoods, it features a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a one-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. One strum reveals its warm, inviting tone, free from the low-midrange muddiness often found in rosewood-backed guitars.
The neck, carved from a single piece of mahogany, is topped with a smooth ebony fingerboard with 20 frets. Its comfortable profile blends classic and modern designs, making it perfect for both strumming and intricate picking.
Founded in 1967 in Canada, Larrivee honed their craft among the Sitka spruce forests of Vancouver. Now based in California, Larrivee continues to craft guitars with fine tonewoods and premium aesthetics at player-friendly prices.

Why we like Larrivee guitars:
Since 1967, Larrivee has been taking a unique approach to building guitars. They use specially designed bracing systems and eco-sourced, hand-picked tonewoods, making each guitar that comes out of their factory something special. Founder Jean Larrivee, along with his two sons, is always refining their models and searching for the best tonewoods available. Together, they create guitars with amazing tone and quality that are truly one-of-a-kind.
