The cedar topped one? E2OM? That's nice too!

Do you think my Walden might tick your boxes? I was just in the shed making up a big box for my guitar cases but the large Walden case wouldn't fit. For a moment there I thought, oh fuck it. I'll just sell it.

Would need to try it first and cash poor till my bonus comes in but sounds like you should keep it if its as good as it sounds!!

Yeah the cedar one, gets it a bit closer to the OMJM tone

Another thing I was considering was the Martin OOO Jr, altho' this is a dread version vs a full size its interesting how good the Jr sounds to me...

Actually, I was going to ask you for a bit of info so I could list it and seem like I know what I'm talking about...?

All solid wood construction. Indian Rosewood B&S, spruce top. Grand Auditorium shape & size. 1&3/4 string spacing at the nut, 25&1/2" scale. Rosewood fretboard. Gloss finish (but its is water-based I think). Walden use good quality woods for their top models (such as this) and their construction is usually excellent too.

Interestingly the 1&3/4 thing seems to be for fingerstyle but John Mayer's OM has 1&11/16 as he wants it to be more like a strat neck... I definitely want to learn fingerstyle tho' so the wider seems better.
