I finally pulled the trigger! Jason sent it out yesterday. It took me a long time to decide which way to go, hog or rosewood, body type, etc...etc.
I can't wait to see it, and play it! :GRN>

Congratulations! The OM body size is becoming a favourite of mine. They are so comfortable to play.

+1 on the OM body style.  It is really my favorite shape.  With the right build and bracing, it can sound like a nicely balanced dread.  Great choice!

Enjoy.   :WNK>

Couldn't agree more  -_-
Although a 00 fits pretty nice too, but gotta have both  :GRN>

What is the neck width?  Does it have herringbone or abalone rosette? I love them.

pictures...we'll NEED pictures when you get it.  Good choice.  I would love an OM-50.

Abalone.
I'm not sure of the nut, Jason says its in between 1 11/16 1 /3/4.
I think thisi guitar has been on this site before.

Enrico is correct, this guitar was a late model that was supposed to have the 1 3/4" nut width.  It somehow received a 1 11/16" nut, but the neck and slots in the nut are for 1 3/4".  So, the feel is the same as 1 3/4" for the most part, but if you just measure the nut itself it comes in a tad larger than 1 11/16", and smaller than 1 3/4".  It has the K&K Pure Western installed, and it was my church guitar for the last 6 months or so.  I liked it a lot.  J

I may or may not be familiar with this particular guitar but if it's the one I'm thinking of it is outstanding.
