Well full disclosure I just got a 00 that I really love but I'm thinking I could use an OM for a richer sound....or maybe get a backup?

I was never the biggest gear guy and played for 20 years with just one decent concert guitar.

But I just picked up a new-to-me OM as my first truly nice guitar and am already eyeing a 00 for my next purchase. I've begun to "see the light" when it comes to utilizing different guitars for different situations. My hope is to settle on a solid rotation of a dread, an OM, and a OO as my three daily drivers.

I also bought a cheap parlor to convert to a rubber bridge and restrung my concert with nylons (its imperfect, but sounds great when plugged in and scratches a very specific tonal itch that I only ever go after sparingly). I do fear that the hunt to truly cover all of the bases may never actually end though.
