So I played a Santa Cruz DPW SC D dreadnought and Santa Cruz OM PW. Wow.... Very nice.

I liked the feel of the OM with the smaller frets. Not much experience with OM's. It's also nice for fingerpickin. Just curious.... what folks think of OM's for jamming bluegrass or anything else with.

Mike Long Guitars have a base price of $2000 and bear looking at.

Just curious.... what folks think of OM's for jamming bluegrass or anything else with.

I have a Collings OM1A; it has hog back and sides and an addy top. If there were an OM built for flat picking that would be the specs. Yet at jam sessions I yearn for a dread. At the same time I've heard other folks play my guitar at jam sessions and it seems loud enough. The body size of an OM is very comfortable but a dread is just gonna be able to push more air.

An OM though is usually thought of as a versatile guitar.
