It is a sweet voiced instrument. Louder than I expected, but then the JOM body shape (a Dana Bourgeois design) is dred depth and OM shape. It can be heard when flatpicking in a small jam. Great sustain, really rings with new strings. Easy action, also has the Bourgeois middle-ground nut spacing (something like 1 23/32").

One thing many Bourgeois owners say is that Dana finds and uses some of the finest woods of any maker. My JOM fits that... the mahogany is near perfect, and the spruce is simply beautiful.
Cool looking guitar.
I'll let you know how the OMC sounds.
