I built these at the same time and just finished up a week or so ago.

One is an OM with EIR back and sides,Santos Mahogany binding, Sitka top, and Mahogany neck.

The other is a Ditson GC with African Mahogany back and sides,EIR binding, Sitka top, and Mahogany neck.

They both a sound better than the first two, but the OM really sounds good.

Can't wait to start #5!!

Thanks for looking
Jeff

Two great looking guitars. I really like the combination of the woods on the OM. Beautiful work!

Thank you again!

Blaine,
I had three weeks off from work in Dec. and thought what a better way to spend my time off.
It was going to build two of the OMs, but I got a rough plan of the Ditson from someone on another forum and decided to build one of them. I just like the way the Ditson looked from pic. I had seen on other sites. I plan on building another sometime. Its a neat little guitar.

Thanks,
Jeff
