Also, for those following or finding this thread for the first time, I had mentioned that I would prefer the LR Baggs Anthem Stage Pro (vs the Element Stage Pro) but that would mean buying a new, high-end Rainsong Vintage or Nashville model at big $$$$ to get that. Turns out that is not the case! I have it on good authority from prolific AGF and YouTube reviewer (dare I say, YouTube Influencer?!) Aaron Short (AEROUSA) that you can quite easily upgrade an Element Stage Pro to an Anthem Stage Pro by adding the internal mic and swapping out the barn door preamp. Hmmmm... |

Very modular, I would imagine. I'm not sure I'll go for it though. I've still got my Cole Clark Angel 2 which is fantastic plugged in and the Rainsong will be used mostly unplugged anyway. Besides, it sounds fantastic with just the Element Stage Pro system. |

I've tried the Jumbo and Parlor and liked the OM Shorty the best of all of them. It doesn't have the ergonomics of my Journey but comfortable body just the same and without the sacrifice of projection. The 15.3" lower bout and 4" depth is so comfy, and it does have a slightly rounded back. The bass response is a little thin but it blends so nicely with the mids and trebles that it is negligible. Amazing tone from all the RainSong OMs but I think the full carbon ones are just a tad nicer sounding- especially the 12 fretters.
Very nice choice! |

No need. The Element Stage Pro system sounds fantastic as it is. The only reason to upgrade to the Anthem would be to get the mic for tap tones and we only tap on one song, '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' for the intro and outro drum part. The LR Baggs Element Stage Pro needs no help from anything as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, agree with steelvibe and Methos1979 that the the dimensions and shape of the CH-OM are very comfortable and make for a great playing experience .
