Best OM you've played

[Neil K Walk]

Since this question was posed to be subjective I'd say that it would be the Larrivee OM-03R that I've owned for 11 years. In all honesty, if I were tempted by another it would be another Larrivee like an OM-40R.

My deep bodied Altman OM is pretty incredible too, but it sounds like a dread.

I have two deep bodied Altman OMs . They are both fantastic.

I put my Franklin Brazilian/German OM on page 1, but I received my 1933 OM-18 back from TJ in October and picked up a Borges OM-18GG (Golden Grain Mahogany). I can't pick a winner here. The '33 is just what you'd expect - very loud, infinite headroom, and DRY with sustain all day. The Borges is a touch more modern but really shines out of first position where every single note rings like an open string, and incredibly responsive yet still new - I can't imagine it in a few years. The 3 are simply amazing.

'37 00-17, '33 OM-18, '37 000-18

I have played a few nice OMs in my day, but I am in love with my OM28 Marquis.

I also have a 2006 Martin OM-21 Special. I'm not an expert player by any means but it is the best I have played. That must have been a good year.

Wow lots of exotic choices in this thread make my head spin. For the more mainstream players there are quite a few articles out there that compare models, for example:
