Sound & Tone
The solid Sitka spruce top over mahogany back and sides gives this OM a warm, balanced voice with a rich midrange, clear trebles and punchy lows, while the scalloped hybrid bracing keeps it responsive and sustaining. The 25.5" scale adds definition and note separation, and the wide 1-3/4" nut with a 16" radius fingerboard suits fingerpicking, open-position strumming and jazz chord voicings equally well. Expect a focused, mix-friendly tone that holds up in the studio or on stage and responds to both a light touch and harder digging in.
Larrivée OMV-40 Solid Spruce Mahogany Legacy Guitar
The OMV-40 combines a responsive solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides to deliver warm, balanced tones and excellent sustain across the entire fretboard. This Legacy series instrument feels broken in and comfortable, with a neck that invites extended playing sessions of fingerpicking, strumming, or exploring jazz voicings. The rich midrange warmth, clear trebles, and punchy lows cut through in a mix without sounding thin, making it equally at home in the recording studio, on stage, or in daily practice.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale length and 1-3/4" nut width provide a comfortable, accessible playing surface, while the 16" fretboard radius supports both fingerpicking precision and full-chord expressiveness. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret, allowing unobstructed access to the upper register with a body depth of 4.25" that balances projection with comfortable positioning against the player's body.
Tone & Construction
The scalloped hybrid bracing pattern maximizes responsiveness and sustain, while ebony fingerboard, headplate, and bridge components ensure durability and tonal clarity. Bone nut and compensated saddle with 2-1/4" saddle spacing optimize intonation and allow the guitar to settle naturally across its range as it ages.
