Been lurking and reading here awhile and have learned alot. Went to a music store today to try some Eastman Guitars, mainly a OM-tc and 1000ss. They were very nice for the money but the gentleman brought a Larivee OM40 out and said give it a try we just got it in a few days ago.. Well now I am the proud owner of two Larivee OM's. I already had a OM03r and now a OM40, i had them install a k&k pure mini also... I am beyond pleased with the OM40... This was a gift from my wife for our anniversary, couldnt be happier... Sunrise Guitars in Fayettville Arkansas was awesome to buy from, threw in a humidipack, tshirt and some stickers... super nice people and very knowlegeable on their products
