So what should LJ get? Since he has referred to smaller I've suggested a 12 fret 00 or maybe a regular 14 fret 00 like a Martin Jeff Tweedy model, very sweet sounding guitars. Rare but fabulous is the Martin 12 fret 00-15 Podium Custom model. We did them in a 12 fret 000-15 also. The Podium models were top grade mahogany with the 18 series mahogany stain, not walnut, in a gloss finish.

Alas, I had one of the Podium 000 models and sold it to a young guy I used to work with who absolutely loved it and used to come over just to play it. He still treasures it so it is in a very good place & I have no regrets there. He treats it with love and respect. I love the size of the CEO-7 which is close to a 00. |

Don't mess around. Go for the gold in tone and playability. The Taylor Baby!  |

Eastman calls them OMs, but their OMs have a 24.9 scale. I have an E6OM. Very nice guitar.

One of my jam partners just picked up a Martin 00-18, mahogany and spruce. It’s an incredibly little guitar.

The only reason I did not order that is what's in my bank account right now is dedicated to bills. I'm going to ask DaWife for guitar money, for the first time in 36 years. |

The Farida is already gone. I’m wondering if it was a scam.

DaWife said yes, I just ordered it.
EDIT: I think it's sold as both our cards were rejected.

Looks like it is gone.
Elderly has an OT-22 listed for $450. That’s the 1&3/4 inch nut. And it is still on their site. It comes with a gigbag.
I really like Larrivee’s 00-40 12 fret. It’s long scale but I have played it and I like the feel.

What John listed is not their website. It looks a bit clone-y. Not sure what to make of it. What you listed is the correct website address. Search Farida & the OT-22 comes up. |
