I can't believe this thread was started over a year ago -- thanks everyone for your continued interest in this guitar.
My OM has now gone through an entire hot/cold cycle and I'm happy to report that it hasn't moved at all. The action is still top notch, allowing me to play heavy strings with ease.
I recently posted my original arrangement of a traditional Irish love song, "Do Chroí Álainn", using my Olson SJ in open D (

I have just attempted the same piece with my Kraut OM, tuned in CGCFGC capo 4 (effectively one tone higher than my previous posting). The guitar is strung up with a fresh set of D'Addario PB 14-59.

I relaxed the tempo a little bit compared to the Olson recording -- and of course the tone is very different.
As always, your feedback is appreciated.
