Why not a jumbo of some sort? They have a big sound, slightly more comfy than a dread. Guild jumbos used are a good value.

They will sound a lot different.
The J-45 will have more volume and will be more “dry”.
It might be easier to sing with the 000.
I prefer the longer scale of the OM on Martins, not sure what it is.
The shorter scale of the Gibson will contribute to that wonderful gibson tone decay, but to my ears martins strength is brought out better with a 25.4 scale.
my 2 cents.

Hann,

If I lived in Singapore, I'd certainly be looking at Maestro Guitars. It could be a great memento of your time spent there.

Wow you know Maestro too!

I must tell it to Hozen, the founder.

I’m Singaporean and I’ve known Hozen a long time actually. I had his early range of guitars before he really went into the higher range of things.

I did! It wasn't in Utah, but US dealers are starting to carry them. They're great!
