I agree. Haven't played the Tweedy but have had am OM-15 and it's a big difference between that guitar and the CEO-7 in my opinion?

Jeff Tweedy
A local GC has a Jeff Tweedy. Maybe it was the strings, but I was underwhelmed.

Such a great (and beautiful) guitar... I played both, a lot, and in the end went with the Tweedy because I really wanted that particular 'woodiness' in my palette. But if I had my druthers I'd have both. The sparkle 'n' snap of that spruce top is a joy (but I have a vintage LG-2 which has a similar construction and sound). I still might add that CEO-7 at some point (esp. after seeing the CEO-8
 ) Congrats on your purchase!

I know this is an old thread, but I've recently had relevant experience with both models that might be of interest.
I ordered and received an 00-DB Tweedy last month. Being a fan of 00s and 000/OMs generally, I was intrigued by its specs and in love with its looks. I couldn't find one to play anywhere, so I ordered one through Guitar Center. Long story short, it was a beautiful-looking guitar, and sounded very nice, but I found the deep body surprisingly uncomfortable after playing for any extended length of time. I'm a tall, youngish, lanky guy with long arms, but for some reason I don't get along with dreads very well, and the Tweedy felt similarly uncomfortable despite the smaller body and being slightly thinner than a dread. I've never had any issue with an OM/000 or 00, so I guess the lesson for me is that the geometry of a thicker body just doesn't work for me. (The long scale and the modified V neck were fine.) So I decided to return it and saw that my local GC had just dropped the price again on a 2013 CEO-7 they've had hanging on the wall for months and that I've enjoyed noodling on every time I visit. So I opted for an exchange rather than a return, with several hundred dollars coming back to me. The CEO is really great too, and way better for me personally in terms of playability. I have an 00-18 that I love, but the CEO sounds quite different from it, and feels a bit different too. It's sized right between an 00 and and 000, so it has a little bigger feel to it. It also has a bigger sound when strummed. All in all, while the Tweedy sounded good and looked incredible, the CEO-7 feels like a nicer guitar to me. I'm a huge Jeff Tweedy fan, and I wish I could have bonded with the 00-DB, but I'm pretty happy with how things turned out.

I wouldn’t say I was objectively disappointed with the 00-DB in any way. It just wasn’t comfortable for me personally. It sounded great and didn’t feel overbuilt at all.
I think the main difference between the two is the same as the difference between the 15 series and 18 or 28 series generally. The Tweedy feels like a deluxe 15 series guitar, and the CEO-7 is more in line with an 18 or 28. And since the Tweedy and the CEO are about the same price, you’re probably getting more for your money with the CEO.

Selling my 7 is one of my guitar regrets. Great guitar both in looks and tone. May end up with one again someday.
