I had a 000-28EC for a while, but traded it into an OM28V. It was definitely the right move for me... now I get more sparkle, liveliness, and a longer scale. Both f them had a 1 3/4" nut. After playing the 1 3/4" nut, I don't want a 1 11/16" nut again.
OM has a 1 3/4" nut. The 000-28 has a 1 11/16" nut. (I prefer the wider spacing for easier fingering.)
OM has 24.5" scale length. 000-28 has a 24.9" scale. (I prefer the longer scale for the sound quality, esp in lower tunings.)
OM has scalloped X bracing. 000-28 has straight X bracing. (I prefer the scalloped bracing for a more responsive top to fingerpicking.)
To me, these are all significant differences!
