Hey, if Ren Ferguson says so, I believe it.
Plays like a dream, WW.
It was actually described as "orchestra" from the marketing materials and price list that I saw, but the label says OOO. I don't know which designation pre-dates the other, but remember that the inspiration for these guitars is very old-timey. If Martin had made a OOO 12-fret 12-string back in the '30s, it's probably have looked and felt a lot like this. It's just awesome.
These guitars are actually bigger than a "traditional" 000 or OM with their 15 1/2" lower bout, assuming the body is the same size as my OM. The lower bout is squarely between Martin's 000 (15" lower bout) and their 0000 (16" lower bout). I tried of fit my OM in my 000-17SM case and it's too big. Toni is already having a bear of a time finding a suitable replacement for the craptastic case that came with all of these, and when she does (and I know she will). I'll likely buy one too. Ultimately, I'm going to do the same for the Jumbo, and have already obtained a Martin Geib style dread case for the slope shoulder that fits perfectly.
