I know the answer is you have to play them, but I like the idea of roughly an 18 aesthetic and a good cost savings.

What a fantastic review. Great recording and tone, tons of relevant information, and killer playing. I have an OM-21 and absolutely love it. I love it so much that when I can't play it, I watch videos of other people playing theirs, like this one!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad to hear you have a great guitar! Enjoy and thanks for watching

I have an OM-21 made in 2009. The specs are a little different as it hade rosewood board and bridge. She is a beauty. Nice to see the OM-21 is getting some love. ❤️

I´ve got one. The one I have is simply the best and most comfortable guitar I have ever played. With my a bit short fingers and small hands, this guitar is perfect for me. I like the lightness of the instrument and small body and responsiveness a lot. Great tonal balance and extremely playable. This is definitely a guitar to try out in the Martin guitar shop. It is just so much fun to play it.

You's got a great guitar!

I've had one since 1996 or thereabouts. Great guitar, especially as it's aged. Mine is rosewood neck and bridge, which I like. I think they moved to ebony. Finger picks well and you can flat pick it, though it's not a dreadnought. Will play a nice lead. Cords really well. Part I like about it is it's absolutely fabulous in open tunings and does well with a bottleneck. I highly recommend the guitar.

What strings are on this? My 21 does NOT sound that good.

[@studio1vintageguitars]

Martin 12-54 phos long life strings. Our store is well de/humidified at 50% humidity, the humidity levels have a huge impact on the overall tone, try some humidifying packs in your OM-21s guitar case. That might be the reason it does not sound as good.

I have a OM-21. Essentially a OM-28 without the bling.

[@studio1vintageguitars]

right on!
