Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good - Some minor nicks and scratches
This Country Boy OM is a swiss-army knife guitar, lending itself to so many different applications. The guitar is small and responsive enough to produce a warm and rounded tone when played fingerstyle, but retains enough clarity and attack to really make a flat pick pronounce itself. It has very controlled sympathetic harmonies when strummed, while still having the full and lush sound to satisfy the needs of a singer-songwriter. It's more difficult to think of a situation where this guitar wouldn't be the right fit. No matter the destination, this guitar will take you there on a spectacular journey.
From Bourgeois Guitars
You can think of the Vintage OM as a smaller version of our Dreadnought--or maybe it's the other way around. Because of its characteristic superb balance, clarity of voice, and sustaining top register, the OM is often thought of as the quintessential fingerstyle guitar. It's not surprising, though, that more than a few players appreciate these same characteristics not only for flatpicking but also for a variety of other applications. We scallop both sides of the X brace on our OM. This provides the” looseness” required in a smaller guitar to produce a clear, strong bass response, and power and projection that belies its size.
