Re: OM Setup
To me they are pretty similar, nut height is slightly higher than a mando, and bridge height is determined by string buzz like always, so nothing unusual about an OM that I know of. String tension is whatever you want it to be. The MDO305 really is just a big mando to me, because it uses the same kind of bridge and tailpiece. If it had a guitar-like bridge on it like a GBOM, then it would take (more) work like a guitar does to adjust the bridge.
For that reason I prefer OM's to tenor guitars, because they are easier to work on for setups.
Enjoy your MDO. :-)
