Re: Comparison/impressions of Guitar Body OMs?
I picked up a Northfield flattop on Friday, with the Italian Spruce top and Michigan Koa (maple) back and sides. What made me fall in love with it was the endless resonance and sustain! It's exactly the kind of sound I look for when playing on my own. I traded a Martin 0-28 VS for it, and was surprised by how much more sound I got out of the Northfield despite the smaller body size. I may look at replacing the clear plastic pickguard with a nice matte tortoiseshell to match the binding...
