Larrivee OM 09K Koa Steel String Guitar, 1996

On June 18, 2019 /

The Larrivee OM 09K is the Koa version of the normally Rosewood bodied OM-09 Artist model, based on the classic Orchestra Model design dating back to the late 1920s. This body design originated with Martin, and is very similar to the 000 models, but the OM has a longer scale length – 25.5 inches compared to the 000’s 24.9 inches. This increases brightness, clarity and volume. The OM body also produces a well balanced tonal representation throughout the spectrum.

On May 14, 2019 /

The Ashley Leanne Classical guitar dates to 2015 and is in overall very good condition. It features mostly traditional Spanish classical construction, including a ‘slipper foot’ heel, where the heel block receives two cuts that the sides slot into; the back extends over the bottom of the heel forming a cap. This guitar also has a port on the bass upper side, and the heel construction can be clearly seen through the port.

Marc Beneteau OM Cedar and Padauk, 2011

Tags: acoustic, Beneteau, cedar, independent luthiers, OM, steel string

This Marc Beneteau OM was built during 2011 at the Beneteau Guitars shop in St. Thomas, Ontario. Marc has been building since 1974, originally in Ottawa. He is largely self taught, though he’s taken inspiration from Jean Larrivee’s work. Many prominent Canadian builders worked directly for or with Larrivee, but Marc did not, instead taking cues from Larrivee’s influences from classical guitar building, which produces a result quite different from the Martin – Gibson building styles.
