I have a OM-03 Custom, with Peruvian Walnut back and sides and Cedar top. It sounds wonderful and has more bass than some Dreadnoughts I have played. I tried quite a few OM-03's before making my decision and I found that the type of woods used is not a terribly good predictor of the tone you will get on any one guitar. So do try a selection and don't buy without playing. If you can make the trip to Ohio, Wildwood Music has a great selection and great prices. Nice people, too!
