OM-21 vrs. 00028

[brianf]

I'm getting close to buying either of these.

What I know is the OM 21 has the longer scale, slightly wider rosewood fingerboard and scalloped "X" bracing.

The 00028 has Ebony fingerboard non scalloped bracing.

I'll be damned if I can notice any difference in tone. Any advise from any of out Martin experts?

Thank you.

Well here's my :2c
Can't offer you anything on the construction. I think I'd go with the one that feels best, is easiest to play and sounds good to the ear.
Is there a big difference in price?

Hey, didn't you once tell me that have a Martin? :60burst
What model is that?

Hi Lyles, thats the one my brother in law is now proud owner of.

I want one with the smaller body. The dreadnaughts are to big.

Can you get together Sunday afternoon? We can call Bolero and Cam.
