    yeah JR, quality engorged 'OM's' are super versatile - delicate fingerpicking to strident session / jam playing, all the dynamics are there. I got a Bourgie JOM in the '90's mainly for gigging though it can be subtle as well.
    What depth is the grand ? the JOM is Dread size - 4 7/8.
    Good instruments should be having the effect  -"come on big boy - is that all u can do - cause I can do a lot more"  stretching u as a player  =).
    give it a few years of good playing (all over the neck) and u'll pick it up one day and it'll hit u - sonic fulfillment <3
    happy pickin
    I measured the lower bout last night - it's 4 1/8 ......so you've got 3/4 of an inch on me.....


    that 3/4" can make all the difference to the bottom end.


    I know, I know, it was a cheap and easy laugh, but it's my day off today so I'm in a simple mood.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    Sounds like it's SC's take on Martin's M / 0000 body size. OM depth but with a wider lower bout. That will really give you the best of both worlds, comfy to play, clarity of the OM with a little more air moving, but without getingt boomy on the low end.  One of Martin's most underrated body sizes and it only came about after a C series Martin arch top was effectively turned into a flat top for an artist at which point they discovered a great idea. 

    I really liked the M-36 I tried - only did so because I'd never heard of it before and without wanting to sound like a brochure it really did seem to sit right in the middle of the picker/dreadnaught camps.
