1. Consistently closer to the bass biased Martin vintage voicing. 2. Dovetail neck joint 3. More lightly built, often ‘right to the edge,’ for optimal resonance. 4. More forgiving playability, especially after initial break-in. 5. Resale not as good as Collings = extreme value bought used. Let’s compare these to the OP when he responds.

1) I really like Richard Hoover and the operation he is running. 2) When playing Santa Cruz OMs compared to Collings, Huss & Dalton, etc. I found the tone and playability to fit my preferences the most. Each of these companies make great guitars, but quite simply SCGC matches my preferences. Thank you for letting me know. I took a look, but I did not see an OM model listed. |

I think less people buying guitars in stores right now means fewer people selling their guitars (Santa Cruz OMs ) to fund purchases. Bump

Here's one
Its asking price is a bit above your range, but a nice example. Dealer might be willing to deal. It's probably opened up wonderfully.
Good luck. http://www.vintagemandolin.com/94santacruzom_451.html Bob

Might have already seen this:
To me, this is a bargain and it checks most of the boxes? Just depends if you're a sunburst fan. Looks to have some honest wear, but the saddle height is great and they've done some maintenance work on it. https://reverb.com/item/33540099-san...-1995-sunburst
