Smile Bourgeois SJ DB Sig. VS Martin OM-28 Marquis

I'm thining my herd a little, it is between my Bourgeois SJ(Small Jumbo) DB Sig Adi/Madi or Martin OM-28 Marquis Adi/EIR. Help me decide which one to sell

Im mostly an OM guy, other guitars in the stable are a Collings OM3, a beater Martin OM-28VR, and a Charis SJ.

Is the poll asking which we would sell, or which we would buy?

I've never played the model Bourgeois you have, however I know for sure I'm not a fan of the OM-28 Marquis...neck is too big, 2 3/8 string spacing too wide, and the tone entirely too warm. Plus you have a Collings OM3 to fill that slot nicely.

My opinion is worth entirely what you paid for it

Which one do you prefer?? If you really have no preference, sell the one you can get the most money for. Or, sell them both and put the money towards something you really love!

I love OMs, but I also love diversity. You have two other REALLY nice OMs. Keep that Bourgeois SJ to add different sound/feel that's also a super high end, hand made guitar. You've got some great taste and great guitars. I'm a HUGE Martin and Collings fan, but one day I hope to add a Bourgeois or Santa Cruz to the collection.

Why don't you list both? First one to go gets shipped out and you keep the other.
