The DSR is a very nice guitar for the bucks!

They were custom made for Guitar Center and Musiciansfriend.com

Still a darn nice guitar!

I've got an OM1 too. Completely different animals these two gutiars: OM and dreadnought, solid mahogany and solid rosewood. Different bracing - non-scalloped on the DSR and scalloped on the 1 series. Different necks too - the DSR has a traditional mahogany neck with a nice dark piece of rosewood for the fretbaord. The OM has a flatter profile stratabond neck with a light colored piece f rosewood for the fretboard. To be honest, I like the flatter profile of the stratabond neck better, but I like them both just fine.

The decorative appointments on the DSR are also nicer than those on the 1 series of guitars, but they both have satin finishes. The finish is a bit more nicely done on the OM1 than on my DSR.

I like both guitars, but the DSR is more of an all-arounder, useful and nice for anything. Never played a D1 though, so this really isn't much of a comparison...
