Likes: Good for rhythm and cowboy chords. Sounds good for a new Martin or any new guitar.
Dislikes: All new Martins are not the quality of those of the past. Not great for jazz because of it's NON-Cutaway body design.
Additional Comments: I am not just saying new Martins are dissapointing but most factory built new guitars of today seem dissapointing for the most part.

Like about the Martin OM21: Beautiful complex rich tone and beautiful to look at. Great size for comfort.
Dislike about the Martin OM-21: I dislike the small pick guard as it does not cover the area it needs to for my playing.
Additional Comments: I have several guitars. This is the one I expect to have forever.

Like about the Martin OM21: great playability and mid-range tone for the price. Great specs for fingerpicking, good midrange. Extra nut width is a big bonus if playing classical style. Awesome when fitted with a b-and Ast/Ust/A2.2/. Great entry point if looking for a Martin.
Dislike about the Martin OM-21: None, but if your looking for big bass resonance, forget it.
Additional Comments: Can't stop playing it for blues, classical, latin jazz and country.

Like about the Martin OM-21: Bought this OVER a D-28 or J-40; it was just more fun to play at the end of the day and a bit of a break from from the heavy handed bigger models.
Dislike about the Martin OM-21: none yet
Additional Comments: a great guitar
Date: 4/6/06 Review: Martin OM 21 Rating you gave the Martin OM-21: 5 - Best thing I ever bought
Like about the Martin OM21: Love the style of it, no need for bells and whistles, it's the tone and feel that really counts here!
UMGF username: dom000 Date: 3-6-06 Review: Martin OM-21 Rating you gave the Martin OM21: 4 - Highly recommend it Liked about the Martin OM-21: Nice clarity, deep, resonant bass that can compare to higher end OM's. Perfect for fingerpicking, and pretty much anything else you can throw at it. Nice midrange. Dovetail neck joint and scalloped
bracing! One of Martin's most underrated guitars.
Disliked about the Martin OM-21: Lacks some of the "punch" and boominess of a Vintage model, or even a higher end standard series. Tuners are questionable.
Additional Comments: Great guitar all around. Obviously not the best OM model in the world, but I'd say it takes the cake on the price range it is in. I own that and an OM-18V, and i dont intend on selling the 21 anytime soon. Its too great!

Liked about the Martin OM-21: This guitar has a great tone, choice materials in a small package. It has depth and clarity unlike some of the cutaways or electrified models even a few drednaughts.
Disliked about the Martin OM-21: The fret board is a 1/16" wider than other models which facilitates good flatpicking but smaller hands might prefer a narrower board.
Additional Comments: Vintage style tuners with premium bridge pins would make this guitar even more of a sleeper!
