OM versus Grand Concert
Dear Friends,
I have never played a Taylor GC. I own a 710 and absolutly love it. I want to add to my collection though. I have played a Larrivee OM 03 and really like it. I would consider purchasing a Larrivee OM-09, but would also like to have a guitar that would "match" my 710. What can you tell me about the differences between the OM and the GC? If a person liked the feel and sound of the OM, do you think they would like the GC? None of the stores I have visited have GC's. Any help you could offer would be most appreciated. Also, has anyone seen the new GC, or is it not unveiled untill next year? Thanks. |

There are actually very few differences between the Martin OM and the Taylor GC or X12 body size. Both have 1-3/4" nut widths and nearly equal body shapes, depths and scale lengths. Both feature scalloped braces. I cannot speak for Larrivee, whose company uses a different bracing system, but generally speaking, thay are very similar too when compared to a different body size (Martin 00, Taylor X14, Larrivee L). Try an OM by Martin or Larrivee and a Taylor GC. The tone of one may suit you better and offset the tone of your existing guitar better.
