OM-50 Traditional Series
OM-50 Traditional Series, part of Larrivée's 50 Traditional Mahogany line — solid mahogany back and sides with a spruce top.
About this guitar
A vintage-styled series with a flat-top headstock, hand-carved neck volute, and diamond fingerboard inlays, while keeping Larrivée’s own symmetrical parabolic bracing; an enlarged soundhole boosts midrange punch, and the cast bronze open-back tuners carry engraving by Wendy Larrivée. Uses Larrivée’s highest-grade FSC-certified Khaya mahogany.
