The Bourgeois Modified V and the Collins Modified V are almost identical to my hand. The Martin Modified V (like my CEO-7) is a deeper V with more girth.

That is good to know, i'm very fond of the Collings neck profile.

He is comparing the Collings 00 to the OMS.

Has anyone played both?
Any feedback at all is greatly appreciated, thanks

I know this wasn't your question, but did you compare that Bourgeois with the Collings 000 12 fret?

I generally prefer Bourgeois over Collings, but found that particular Collings model to be very tempting.
