SOLD ~ Paragon OM Guitar

More pictures below....

This is a hand made OM guitar built in 2002 by Paragon Guitars, a company consisting of two former Larrivee luthiers Rob Bustos and Mark Vantaa in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  First they started Haida Gwaii guitars and then Paragon.

Low serial number  sn109 is Paragon's 10th guitar, 100 was the first serial number.  I am the second owner and bought it from a guitar collector in California.  It has had little to no playing time.  Tremendous note clarity, balance and tone.  A pleasure to play.  Truly a special OM guitar.

Specifications:

Ebony head plate

1  3/4 inch nut width

2  3/16 inch string separation at the saddle

Ebony fretboard bound in ebony and ebony bridge

Sterling silver position markers on side of fretboard

3 piece laminated mahogany neck

Ribbon shell inlay in fretboard and bridge

Abalone purfling around the soundboard

Maple binding front and back

Solid Indian Rosewood back/sides

Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboard

Black TUSQ nut and saddle (compensated)

High quality and plush archtop hardshell case by Datt

Truss rod wrench

Original paperwork (may be possible to transfer the lifetime warranty)

No endpin or strap buttons, add them if you want them.

No electronics installed.

No pickguard.  This is fingerstyle instrument.  A pickguard can be ordered from Paragon guitars.

Guitar and Case are in brand new condition.  Better than showroom condition.  No issues whatsoever.  This is a strikingly beautiful instrument in terms of appearance, playability and sound.  You will not be disappointed.

This guitar was a custom order and can be priced at the www.paragonguitars.com at $2620 US plus taxes, shipping, and custom order wait time.

This guitar compares well to a Larrivee OM10, but in my opinion, the Paragon is a higher level instrument.
