Location: South of most, North of few | Yup, that's the "amberburst" finish. I almost bought a 000 in that finish, but got beat out by a few hours. The 00-18V is a very nice guitar. I've got the natural finish one and it's now my favorite. |

The amberburst is definitely my favorite Martin finish. The 000 you should have been sold looked every bit as fantastic as this one.
You like the 00-18V better than the CEO-5? :eek: |

Location: East Tennessee | That is an awesome looking guitar.
Taking a picture of the back of that guitar is almost a bad as an Ovation shiny bowl.
Glad the guy was not in his BVDs :eek: |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | My OM-28V is becoming my favorite go to guitar...it has a magical tone and plays as nice as any guitar I have ever owned...small, light weight, great Rosewood and wonderful spruce top, it is a really fine instrument and records well too; and is stays in tune...I am sure this OO is also a treasure...the burst is very nice; but it is the tone that makes these smaller Martins so special... |

Location: East Tennessee | My OM-18V is very comfortable to play. Nice balanced sound. Not the volume of a Dread or an Ovation. |
