Sound & Tone
The aged European spruce top over solid silver oak back and sides yields a warm, woody voice with crystalline trebles that cut cleanly without turning brittle, plus lows that stay full and resonant. Moon spruce scalloped hybrid bracing and the OM body keep response quick and balanced across the range, so intricate fingerstyle passages and open-tuning experiments stay articulate while heavier strumming still projects. With a 1.75-inch nut width, 16-inch radius, and ebony fingerboard, it suits fingerpickers and flatpickers alike in folk, singer-songwriter, pop, and light jazz settings.
Larrivee OM-44 Silver Oak Ice-T Special Limited Run Guitar
The OM-44 Silver Oak Ice-T Special delivers the responsive, balanced playability that defines the OM body shape, with a one-piece mahogany neck that invites effortless fingerstyle technique and smooth chord transitions. This limited-run collaboration represents Larrivee's meticulous craftsmanship applied to a distinctly warm, woody tonal character that performs equally well in folk, singer-songwriter, pop, and light jazz contexts. The silver oak back and sides produce crystalline trebles and rich, resonant lows that reward both delicate fingerpicking and assertive strumming.
Tonal Character & Build
The combination of solid aged European spruce topped wood with solid silver oak back and sides creates a guitar with excellent clarity and articulation—trebles cut through without harshness while the lows remain resonant and full.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the OM body shape different, and is it right for my playing style?
The orchestral model (OM) is a compact body with balanced projection—smaller than a dreadnought but larger than a parlor, making it comfortable for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and chord-driven approaches. The 1.75-inch nut width and 16-inch fingerboard radius accommodate both fingerstyle and flatpicking with equal ease, and the responsive neck platform supports open tunings and intricate arrangements.
What genres and playing styles does this guitar excel in?
The OM-44 is voiced for folk, singer-songwriter, pop, and light jazz contexts where tonal versatility and clarity matter. Its warm woody character with crystalline trebles and rich lows works equally well for delicate fingerpicking and assertive strumming, though it is not voiced for metal or hard rock.
What materials give this guitar its tone, and why does age matter?
The guitar pairs a solid aged European spruce top (25 years old) with solid silver oak back and sides, combined with moon spruce scalloped hybrid bracing. The aged spruce has matured to deliver excellent clarity and articulation, while the combination produces balanced projection and responsive sustain across the frequency range.
Is this guitar built in the USA, and what craftsmanship details set it apart?
