I thought that almost everyone would be pretty aware of the tonal difference between an OM and a 000. When I say 000 I do mean a long scale 12 fret Martin, and When I say OM I mean a long scale 14 fret Martin, or facsimiles there of such as the Schoenberg Soloists and Standards such as I have been making for the last 15 years or so. These are very close to the same guitar except for the body size, which is why I mention them.
Because I approach the work as an artist, I like to leave as many parameters in place as possible so that I can understand my changes and move forward. I can effect huge tonal variation without altering body cavity dimension, and have found maintaining balance easier if I don't mess with depth unless it is for a very good reason.
Go listen to those Martins!
