String tension can often be a function of how the guitar is set up, but more times than not I find it's a function of the strings themselves. If you really liked the tone you may want to head back and ask if they'll put on a set of your strings and see how the feel is (maybe you'd want to call first, explain the situation and then head over if they're cool with it). I can go from brand to brand and type to type with the same gauge string on my guitars and they'll feel and sound very different. It could be set up tight as a bluegrass picker for a reason, who knows?

Don't remember if Dana's OM's are the shorter Martin 000 scale or 25 1/2" like most OM's, but that would also lend something to it if you're used to a shorter scale.
