I have been recently searching for a Martin (OM or 00 body), was looking at around £800ish which on a second hand market should get something pretty decent, whilst searching around I have stumbled across the Larrivee range OM-03 etc and just wanted to know peoples opinions on them.
I am going to get out and have a play on a few and am (I think) still intent on a Martin but my head has been turned by these as they look lovely and I like the idea of something that is not so common place.
Anyone have much experience with them, sound wise I`m after the traditional Martin sound as my Taylor has a newer and more zingy sound, so any guidance is much appreciated good bad etc..............
Cheers

My main acoustic is an OM-10. Lovely thing it is. @the_twin is right, they don't sound like a Martin. In fact, it would be closer to your Taylor.
If you have that kind of money to spend you have a whole bunch of options and naturally I am recommend giving a Yamaha a go. You could look at an LL or LS 16 or maybe the A3. None of which sit firmly in the Taylor tonal camp but have their own vibe. Designed to fit around the vocals tonally.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
Thanks, that`s what I was looking for.

Personally the OM1-GT ticks almost all the boxes for me and black teardrop pickguard makes it more desirable, only downside is the stratabond neck though, fussy...you bet!
