Not sure what a generic OM is? You can make whatever you want. The kits include Martin components which are mostly rejects (tops, back & sides) due to cosmetic issues, not structural.
It means that the kit may have a style 18 or 28 rosette on the top. They also ship all kits with Richlite fretboards and bridges. I upgrade those items. I go to the GMC and select the kits and upgrade components I want.
You can call and ask if they have OM kits with 28 style components (rosette and binding/purfling) before you purchase.
