I have one of each, a lefty OMC-18E with Fishman system and a lefty OMC-28E with the Baggs system. Both sound great.

I think its the Fishman. It has the VTS option. Yours is a sweet one.

Time to play!

Which JP strings did you put on?

Everything you expect from a Martin. Only had it for 12 hours. My initial impressions are while there isn't one thing that stands out, it does a just about everything very well. Strumming, fingerstyle and flatpicking seem well above average. I may have other guitars that excel in one area better than the OM-28, but I think this will be a very versatile guitar.

Beautiful straight grained quarter sawn wood all around and a decently tall saddle. The two most important aspects for a Martin that will last your lifetime.

Nice guitar man! I'm really thinking of getting one of these myself. I already have an OM28V that is a fantastic guitar. I play mostly jazz, and am realizing that I really want an OM with a cutaway, and this guitar is at the top of the list. I also really like the neck on the newer Martins more than the V neck of my guitar. I really love the sound though, so its a hard call for me. Anyone ever compare these two models?
