OM-28 Marquis v.s. OM-28V - it must be the bracing
I got a chance to play and listen to an OM-28 Marquis next to an OM-28V yesterday at Chuck Levin's. When I got my D-28 Marquis there about a year ago I had a chance to compare it to several other D-28...

In my experience, the OM-28V (which I own), tends to have a warmer, fatter, more fundamental sound than the OM-28 Marquis. To me, the Marquis tends to sound brighter, punchier, more focused, a bit...

I have played both and find them very similar. Adi or Sitka or whatever I judge by sound alone. This OM 28v I have is great "just out of the box". i don't have to wait for an opening up or a better...

"What comes after finding your "holy grail"? The Music. The guitar is a wooden conduit for something mystical that surpasses the material world."Amen to that. Nothing else need be said, really.

To my ears, those 2 guitars are as different as 2 OMs could be... You either like the snap and crunch of Adirondack, or not. The Sitka topped OM-28V is a warm and wonderful sounding guitar ... But,...

Guess we all have our ideas about which is better - i have a 2005 OM28v and it is way underrated as a top contender -it has been opening up in a wonderful way - Even thou i dont own a Marquis , Im...

Have to agree with the guys who find the two models very different - at least the ones I've played.Like Mark says, neither better than the other, just different. Tho' I personally prefer the Marquis.Don

My Om-28v is not rosewood so maybe that accounts for my differing experience.I play bare fingerstyle and its loud. and clear but with a huge sustain and reverberation. Not muddy in the bass.I've...

Yes - I was certainly expecting to hear more of a difference. I definately noticed differences between the D-28 Marquis that I bought and the other D-28 variations that I played. But then again the...

The warmth, richness and complexity of the OM-28V may not be to everyone's taste, but no need to disparage it as "muddy" just because a drier sound is personally preferred...

Kev .. you are misunderstanding... No one is disparagingthe wonderful OM-28V, when they describe the sound that they hear as muddy, compared to an Adirondack topped OM-28 Marquis.. That is just an...

Seems all is cool here. Mine is a prototype so I can't discuss yet. All good guitars. I've been amazed at this guitar though. Mesmerized might be a better word.I've also thought the Marquis's I've...

One's perspective is a strange thing, I thought the OM28 Marquis to be a bit shrill and it lacked depth compared to my OM28V.Ralphy '89 D-28'05 D18V'06 OM28V'The watchman's out, kickin' your dreams...

No problem, Ima. Actually, your "a bit muddy" was mild in comparison to MC28VR's "muddy as usual"! I think I know what you both mean, but just wish you'd chosen a less negative term to describe it....

I'd guess you fellas that say OM-28V's sound "muddy", never heard El McMeen play one.

Muddy is not a negative term...It describes the sound perfectly IMO and one that has been used for years on this forum and others to discribe the tone of Rosewood vs Mahogany...Being a RW fan give me...
