Hey,
You're hi-jacking my thread...
Nothing sounds like a Martin OM with those tiny forward shifted braces. It has the kind of sensitivity that I have found on no other guitar -- but that sweetness comes with some slightly muddy bass. This guitar can be strummed, flatpicked or played fingerstyle and do it well.
While the OM-21 Special is modestly appointed, my H&D redwood/coco comes with all of the options. It's got huge braces compared to the Martin and has a much more direct and focused sound. It is a louder guitar than the Martin but it has fewer "in between" dynamics. Great for fingerstyle, terrible for pretty much anything else.
