![]() The OM and GPC are a more comfy body shape and size for me than the dreadnaught. The different body shapes and wood combinations all have their strengths and weaknesses. With that said, if you are going to focus on acoustic grass with groups, in my opinion, the PA series may not be the best suited for that particular purpose due to the lack of acoustic volume. They sound incredible plugged in, they are very easy and comfortable to play and I think they are a really great all around guitar (I’ve no plans to sell mine). However, like Ol’ Ben Kenobi said, if you are going to play with others acoustically, volume is a good thing. If you play and sing by yourself, a flatpicked loud guitar can be too much. ![]() More volume is not necessarily better in all situations. As far as volume goes, the D-18 is very loud, the OM is reasonably loud and GPC has less volume and it doesn’t cut like some guitars. As far as tone goes, they are all different, but I like them all (to me, the D18 and the OM18 have what I would consider a fairly traditional bluegrass tone). As far as playability goes, any of them play bluegrass just fine. I have a dreadnaught (D-18GE, mahogany), an OM (OM-18V, mahogany) and a performing artist (GPCPA3, rosewood), so I can maybe help with the comparisons a bit.
