Martin 000/OM Comparison Video

Comparison between the 000-18, 000-28 (Modern Deluxe) and John Mayer’s OM Signature model.
The Martin 000 models shares the same 15″ body as the OM Orchestra Model. There are differences. The OM has a longer scale (25.4”) and wider neck that suits finger-style guitarists better (in most occasions).
Big sound difference here between the mahogany and rosewood/palissander build guitars.
