I even played it before I bought it--how 'bout that? Just very happy with it and have to tell somebody. There's a nearby thread looking for the "un-Martin sound." Well, this ain't it. The store let me take it, before I bought it, into a two-day recording session of rhythm section with some veteran players. There was no turning back. Just a sweet, sweet guitar. Thanks for listening. D-18GE / 000-28VS / OM-28V "Remember the sixties? Dude! I am THERE!"

At the time, it was the nicest acoustic guitar I'd ever owned. I was absolutely hooked for life on the Martin sound and workmanship. After I got a dreadnought, I found that they complemented each other beautifully. The GAS was on. Doug

How do you think the new OM-28V stacks up against your 000-28vs? Have you played it enough to compare the sound/feel in detail? As some one already said, pics would be good so we can all share in your joy. Congratulations!

Thanks for enjoying this guitar with me. sdan70 asked about pics. This particular model comes from the factory with (don't ask me why) a pickguard that I have judged to be not the most beautiful. It came off first thing, with an order placed for a Greven. Meanwhile, it has this awkward tan line, and I think it would be embarrassed to be seen here in that condition. When it's dressed again, and when it stops raining outside, I'll post a couple shots. I want to buff out the headplate, first, too. Might as well have a "V" that looks like a "V." adjohns3 complimented the store's marketing. There's more. I'd been in often to play this thing. I once wondered aloud what it would sound like with new strings. Bam, new strings. Another time I asked if they set up the guitars they sell, because I found the action a tad high. Bam, next time I was in, the in-house luthier had not only brought the saddle down, but beautifully compensated it, as well. I asked for a quarter-crank clockwise on the truss rod. Bam, got it. This was all without the slightest commitment to buy. Adjohns3 also asked how this guitar compared with my 000-28VS. When the triple-0 arrived a couple years ago, it was just so elegantly designed I couldn't put it down. But the sound was a surprise. It was wonderfully complex and "classic" sounding, but it didn't strum quite as sweetly as I'd expected, and was generally more "exciting" than "warm." (I know, just poetry--best I can do. Plus, my wife wanted it to sound more like the M-36 I courted her with--maybe "softer edges" on the notes and a little deeper low E.) This OM is what I kept wanting the triple-0 to sound like. And the 1/16 less nut width is easier for me, too. I'd love to keep them both, but economy demands that I let the triple-0 go. Darrell mentioned that it's hard to pass up a good guitar. Well, especially when among the dealer's graces was a clearance price of $2k. Just everything good that could happen happened. Chris, thanks particularly for your gracious words. I love this place.

I love the classic voice of a rosewood/sitka OM, and the 1 3/4" V neck on the OM-28Vs I've played is great. Isn't it a great feeling to get a guitar that fits the "guitar sound" you carry around in your head?
