Thanks mate! A pre war 000-18 would be the dream, it is so hard finding one in Europe though

The Eastman OMs (I have the E10-OM) are pretty unique in that they are short scale (and thus really 000's) but they come with an OM style pickguard -- which I happen to greatly prefer.

LOVE my Martin 000-18 reimagined. I can’t imagine a better deal for such a wonderful guitar.

So many choices
Man a 000 with Mahogany that has aged well might be the most killer guitar. It’s being patient in getting to that point. Hmm how about an Astrand? Ha, ha. I’m waiting for mine in 2022. Beyond that Bourgeois, Santa Cruz and Circa guitars come to mind. Circa is probably the one if you have the extra funds, especially if you can get a custom build. Maybe you can send John Slobod a video of your playing and talk to him about a build. Exceptional builders like to align with exceptional players.

Yes, a SCGC OM PW with German/Euro or Adi spruce would be excellent and if you can find one used they are usually a LOT of guitar for the money. I’ve also owned a Collings OM1A and I sold it and moved to my current 0001A which is 12 fret and short scale. Very responsive and lots of clarity, a joy to play.

I played a wonderful Santa Cruz 14 fret short scale OM that was all-mahogany. Warm, clear and balanced. I also played one that was German spruce/mahogany that was stellar as well. I remember playing a custom Collings OM that was German spruce and Koa - it was probably long scale but an amazing instrument. Probably more expensive than the Martin choices but head and shoulders above in terms of tone and presence, in my experience.
Best, Jayne |

Some of the best guitars of this style are made by Circa Guitars, Al Petteway has many recordings with their guitars. A call with Dream guitars may be in order for you. Or call John at Circa. Both are very helpful.
Have fun. |
