Default Grand Concert Orchestra Model Body Sizes

Is one larger or deeper than the other? Or is it just the body shape that is different?...

Depends on the luthier, particularly for Grand Concert models. OM models' measurements are more uniform from builder to builder. In comparing the two, the body shapes are certainly different. As to body depth, again, it depends.

I don't know that there is a "standard" for the measurements; many folks just work off the measurements of a Martin OM for their OM-style guitars...

I know that James Goodall's OM, OOO and Grand Concert guitars all have the SAME dimensions... on the body, at least.
