Sound Pure's Take
This is the best OM I have ever laid my hands on! A vintage styling with a modern tonewood twist! The Santos Rosewood (a.k.a. Pau Ferro) is a more than worthy adversary to the heralded Brazilian. Power, punch, and balance to spare! Who could ask for anything more?
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.
