Default Martin OM-18E?

Anybody own and/have experience with the new 2018 Martin OM-18e with either the L.R. Baggs or Fishman Aura electronics? I’ve looked all over YouTube and Google & I’ve yet to see a video on this, a guitar that should be a pretty exciting model.

I know that you didn't ask about the 000, But it depends if you would rather have the longer scale (OM) verses the 000-18 with the shorter scale and factory electronics. All the other specs are the same so it comes down to your personal tastes in tone and playability. You own an 00-18, so imagine either model with more projection as Om's with longer scale should project better also and 000 with less string tension to make string bending easier.

The OM-18E sounds and looks like very nice addition by Martin.

You misinterpreted what I meant. I was shocked because...seeing there are so many knowledgeable people here, who seem to own practically every model known, that there wasn’t any comment.

Sure, and no problem, but the issue was the expectation of a response in a short window. I imagine you'll get a good sample of responses over a few days on this guitar.
