****! Now I've got to stop strumming my OM2H...…..Hate to disagree but it is a wonderful strummer. Lighten your attack and use a .88 plastic pick. It sounds waaaaaaay good

Hope the Martin works for you. My experience is just the opposite of Brencat's. I'm a singer, and moved from Martin to a Collings OM2G in part because I wasn't thrilled with Martins as strummers. I found them adequate, but relatively colorless and sometimes felt the backing was just mushy--thought of it as Martin mush, whereas the Collings offered warmth and sweetness with crispness and clarity. I find a Collings OM just a much more interesting and lively singing companion. I haven't played a guitar yet that I enjoy more than my Collings OM, is a better strummer for my music, or that serves me better as a singer.

That said, the OM42....every one I have played (which is only a handful) has been stellar. They are great strummers and finger style guitars. But, there is something incredible that I hear in the trebles on the OM42, that I have not heard anywhere else. In the end, the OP had two great guitars to choose from. No doubt, it was a good spot to be.

If the OM-28 sounds legendary, i mean real classic Martin, then imagine a 42?! An OM or D-42 is an heirloom purchase. Your great great grandkids should be playing it 100 years from now.

Have a Collings om2 deep body and in every aspect a magic deep melodic instrument that surpasses every Martin I have owned especially in build.

Hey Friends,
Back again and like to Report what happened I wanted to Trade my bourgeois Adi/Madi and played 10 guitars. Last 3 standing were the Santa Cruz om pw, Collings Om42 varnish and the goodall Trom. Took the goodall Home and could not be happier now! Close Second was the Santa Cruz. Was really Near to Trade my d42 against it but will buy it seperatly. Couldnt Part from my Martin. Collings varnish sounded Great as well. But too expensive..... Right now i am happy. Never thought it ended up like this but i reached my goal. Find a nice strummer in a OM Body |

Congrats Bronzestar........... talk about a twist.
I wished I would have seen this post, I would have suggested a M-36. Comfy as a small body, more grunt, very balance, good strummer/finger picker and not as bassy. |
