TME Vlogs: 1933 Martin OM-18 VS. Collings, Borges & Brondel

When we had a fantastic 1933 Martin OM-18 in the shop, we couldn't resist doing a little shootout with some of the guitar-o-sphere's most sought after replicas (and a Collings OM1A Traditional for good measure, since it's arguably the modern era's most sought after production version of what Martin was doing in the 1930's). TME staffers Andy and Ian chat about the differences between the 1933 OM-18, a Borges, a Brondel, and the Collings ... and let you HEAR the differences both in the room and on a nice microphone. Let us know what you think in the comments!
