What Body Style is your Martin?

When I first got my OM-1, I had buyer's remorse and was thinking I should have scored a dread.

 

Now I play fingerstyle almost exclusively so the OM is perfect. Things work out. :cool:

1974 D-18, 1980 D12-28, 2006 000-28FK (home made copy of an 000-28VS), and an old Uke.

 

I would sell the 18 but I've owned it for 30 years and I'm somewhat attached to it (even tho I don't play it much). The Uke was a $5 estate sale purchase - my "little Martin". Both dreads have been Kimseyfied.

 

If I were to own only one it would be a OM-28, but what fun would that be?

The poll should have OM and 000 lumped together.


If this were the case, then it is turning out that OM/000 is the most popular.

D-28 here. :wave:

 

Lately I've been itching for another high-falutin' acoustic in some other size beside a Dread. Probably won't be a Martin though; I like to spread the wealth.

Isn't the dimensions on the 000-15S a little different than the OM though? The upper bout appears to be longer.
