The Blackest Crow was awesome!
great demo, the Blackest Crow never sounded so beautiful
One day I'll buy one… It's between this and the OM-28
Wow, this guitar sounds like heaven.
wow . Im a Taylor guy but I love this guitar , But its to much . Im saving for 000-18
Twangy for my taste but i still have to admit its great
Very nice to see all 3 players and showcase the different sounds available from the OM.
Refreshing in a hobby that can be about stealing the spotlight or grasping at it to see it shared.. Well done.
yep, that's the sound! martin guitars have the tone, where taylor falls short. simply, martin guitars are built lighter and the soundboards just resonate to beat all get out! taylor guitars are built heavier, at the expense of tone. i own/have owned D-28's, HD-28's, 814CE's and nothing can compare with the rich, resonant tone of a martin.
Great! I'm surprised this Om21 sounds like a Mahogany Back and sides guitar
Why can't all demos be like this one? Brilliant.
thanks for an excellent review
the three separate clips are a plus. despite comments I've seen that the OM-21has a bright tone, likely from the stock Lifespan strings, I'd have to conclude from these clips that the tone is nicely balanced — the hallmark of OM models.
A great example that players can make a huge difference in how it sounds… Nice playing. I vote for 3;-)
Great review. Just what i need, nothing more.
total sweetness!
That's funny because Taylor's are generally regarded as sounding tinny. Not to say that is bad if you like it. Taylor's have beautiful workmanship but every one I've played lacked the the deep resonance that I've heard in certain Martin's (and most Gibson's).
i always think martins sound tinny personally. much prefer the taylor sound but each to their own
