Thanks, AH--I'm leaning now to Oska's OM model and having him make the body of each instrument a bit deeper. My favorite guitar is the Martin OOOO, with the top dimensions of a jumbo but the depth of roughly an OM. But I'm certain that Oska can coax a little extra horsepower out of his OM design. He's really an amazing craftsman, from what I can discern; I have been taken by all the pictures posted on his website of his meticulous building and aesthetic skills. Of course, there's no substitute for actually playing one of his guitars, but he's in Scotland and I'm in Ohio, so there's that. I'm extremely confidant, however, that I will be getting great guitars.
