Frequently Asked Questions
The OMJM has a slightly more focused and articulate tone due to the specific wood pairings and bracing pattern, offering a refined character compared to a more general 000 model.
The neck profile is a comfortable modified low oval, generally accommodating a wide range of hand sizes, but players with very large hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
The Fishman pickup system is designed to be incredibly transparent; when unplugged, the guitar's natural acoustic tone remains largely unaffected – you won’t notice any significant alteration to the sound.
