So I just bought my new guitar, and it was tough to decide against getting a Gibson Chet Atkins, but I think I made the right choice. I decided to go with a Larrivee OM03R instead. I haven't play a Larrivee yet, but I have a feeling I won't be disappointed.

i love larrivee's as much as the next guy, but buying an acoustic without playing is a bold move.

good luck

I think you did well, although I never played a Larrivee (nor seen).

Good luck!

Post pics as soon as you get it, I have had my eye on that guitar for a while. The guys at the music store are probably sick of me coming in to play it. It's a sweet guitar, good choice. What did you pay?
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

After reading reviews and stuff I'm considering doing the same thing, only with the dreadnought version with a pickup: http://www.larrivee.com/data/products/g ... /D-03e.htm

Would love to hear what you have to say about the guitar when you get it!

I think you do well to consider an all solid wood construction guitar...

Good luck.
