Hello:
I am seriously considering letting my OM-50 and my C-10 deluxe find new homes. After all this time I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm just a dred kinda guy.
The C-10 has the extra fancy headstock and butterfly bridge,was built in 1996 as near as I can tell.On a scale of 10 I'd say it would go 9.8 at least.I doubt it has had 25 hours of playing time in all these years,but has been kept in it's case and properly humidified.Though I think the tone is one of a kind,this guitar has never been one I enjoyed playing.
The OM-50 has the L.R.Baggs Active I-Beam installed.I really like this guitar but the fact is it just doesn't have "it" either.Bought new this year.
So,I guess my point in all this is if I were to trade both of these for a Larrivee or Martin dred,what could I expect to get in return?I'm thinking private owner here,not a store.
Again,I haven't decided for sure and I'm definately on the fence,but what do you all think?

Get a dread of your choice and keep the C-10 and OM-50. I'm a dread kinda guy too, but love to pick up my other guitars and give them a good play from time to time.  :WNK>

If they don't have "it" for you it is time to move them out. You definitely should be playing something that makes you smile.

Chances are tough that you will find a private owner with the exact guitar you want who would be willing to swap for your guitars.  That is extremely rare.  Get a fall-back plan for cashing out of your guitars and then you can buy what you want.
