That Larrivee retails for $4,000 new ... street would probably be at least $3,000.  $1,700 used sounds like a pretty sweet price for the person who happens to have that kinda cash in their gear fund!

Hi Michael,

I am not an OM player, but I sure love them!  I have a friend with a Boulder Creek dreadnaught size six string with the side hole...I am not sure if they are all like that...and it sounds great!  I believe that OM's are built for fingerstyle playing too and the width of the fingerboard is a bit wider to accommodate the style...that might work in your favor with your hand size...whatever you decide, let us know here what you do!  Thanks, Edward

I have 2 Taylor guitars that I love.  I have a chance to buy a Boulder Creek ECRM6-N All Koa Acoutic/Electric guitar.  I like the sound of a Koa, but don't want to spend 3 or 4 grand on one.  Also, I have never played an OM size guitar.  Does anyone know what this guitar sounds like?  it's only $769.00, so I know it's not Koa anything like a Taylor, but does it sound anything like Koa.  Is it worth the price?  Also, I have big fingers (16 1/2 ring finger and 11 1/2 pinkie).  They're big , but not long.  Will I be able to play an OM type guitar without getting my fingers all in a knot?

Perhaps they are a secret stash from Stradivari! ;-)

Okay, checked out Mermer...

Where is he getting these WOODS!!!  Beautiful!

FG, that is one beautiful guitar!  I too have never heard of Mermer...maybe I will look them up!  Edward

That would be "TED" that is buying, not "ED"...  I have 30 instruments right now and one being built...so I am out of the market, BUT, I love to hear about the trading and selling of them!  Edward

Hey...you guys all seem to be buying a new guitar every third post.  Is there a secret ponzi scheme code I have to qualify for on this forum to attain the same buying status?  Let me in on it...the GAS is killin' me.
