You're spot on on the comment about Larivees takes time to open up. They are tight and takes time to age. But yep very balanced tone. When you spend a lot of time with instruments like this I feel it reveals what something cheaper/great sounding guitars sometimes lacks - balance.
Excellent review. I love Larrivee...I have a L-40r and I've had a 000-40r and a 00-40. I just bought an om-40r this morning. One correction...check those end pins one more time. All of mine came from Larriveee with bone pins. I went with the rosewood version of the om-40 because I have a Yamaha FS5 and wanted a rosewood counterpart for that guitar. I love the etching that Larrivee has on their open tuners, designed by Mrs. Larrivee.
That’s another topic .. when you strum you use the palm to mute if like down down down down on each beat or a 2’and 4 in one bar of 4 Beats - hope you get it
Beautiful. There aren’t too many Larrivee demos on TH-cam, when compared to Martin. But your playing accentuates the guitar’s finer points. I own a 00-03 Mahogany, can appreciate what u r doin
Shanker R I do love the larrivees .. people just need to give them time to open up .. they start really compressed tight right from the starts but ones the top loosen up over time .. it blossoms .. being open ..
Jarvis, I've had 2 rosewood Martin OM's, but I'm looking for an rosewood OM with a little more "oomph" in the low end. The Larrivee is 1/4' wider and 1/4" deeper than its Martin counterpart. How would you describe the low end of a Larrivee 40 series guitar compared to Martin OM-28 or 000-18? I know the Yamaha FS5 has far superior bass compared to both the om-28 and 000-18. Oh, you should do a shootout video with the Larrivee om-40 and the Yamaha FS5. That would be very interesting!
Jarvis, I had that edge issue with 2 of my Larrivee's (000-40r & 00-40), but the L-40r does not have this issue. I hope it's something I can learn to overcome on my om-40r. Do you have any tips for this?
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore ahah you got to the finger picking and it was great! The guitar was in its element. Just needed to open with that. I still watched to whole vid ahah

My dream guitar! Such a magical mahogany sound which Larrivee is so famous for!
I had 4 Larrivees ,sold 3 higher spec models and kept my om40. By far the best sounding and best value of the 4 i think.

I love the way you smile when playing .... I may just start wanting one of these now ....thank you for your review
Congratulations my friend! Already following all your reviews since a handfull of years and you’re the man! Keep up that good work! Cheers mate!
Fully appreciate your support
Nice demo, my friend! Just ordered one of these to go with my OM-02. Similar guitars but can't get enough of them. Larrivee is the best.
Superb review! You made this great guitar sing so well.
And thanks for the brace tech explanation
was pleasantly surprised by the sound at 4:04! i think this guitar complimented your playing very well!
Glad you like it
Could you do a comparison video Yamaha FS-5 vs Larrivee OM-40? It would be interesting!
Yes I wished I could if all those Guitars comes in at the same time
Wow! This guitar sounds amazing!
Wow! that sounds great!
Woah lovely tone
I have a Larrivee DV03.. I am likely having a OMV40 made for me in all American Walnut :)
Hello Jarvis!
Please explain your palm mute technique.
Thanks for this great video!

Jarvis you are awesome! Thank you!

First!
Great
What's the song in 14:03 ? any tutorial?
Tutorial 4 on my channel
Jarvis. What strings did you use for this demo?
How much is this model in SG? Can't seem to find the price of the Luthier website, GREAT REVIEW btw!
Call them as I don’t own a guitar store
One of the best sounding OM on the channel... I'm wrong?
peppefac8 could be
would you recommend this guitar? i see the price is affordable compared to a martin.
Yes but get a pro to set it up rightly for you
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore thank you!!!
Two Esteban guitar owners dislike this!
👎👎
Is it available in singapore?
Kevin Lee should be
It’s too bad that the anthem robs the guitar of a bit of tone once it’s installed.
Scott Moreau just a little
10 mins of palm muted strumming on an OM? breh
Bro I’m still a work in progress .. that’s my style man .. I’m no John Mayer ..
LOL!!
