I owned and then sold the 56th M20 off the Oxnard prod line 3 months after I bought it. Why? Because, while it was nice enough to mimic the tone of my cherished '31 Gibson mahogany L0, except easier to play, I still couldn't justify owning two similar sounding acoustics. That's a solid endorsement in itself. I only flat pick though, and like to play with a percussive attitude, something the M20 handled well if you didn't need big guitar volume. I can't say how a finger picker might find it.

For me, 2 thumbs up on the Oxnard M20. I used Dunlop 80/20 Bronze 13's tuned down a whole step and couldn't hardly put it down. It was the first new guitar I have ever bought, and will surely be the last. I like the old wood.

Enjoy!

I believe too in the power of old wood. Nothing in my experience beats age and playtime.

Can attest to the new M20 from Oxnard, have had it just under a year and the thing really sounds and plays great. It's light and of smaller shape, great feel while playing and the tone is wonderful. There are some videos on YouTube of folks much better than I giving it some doing. Good stuff and you can probably find one for under 1k these days, I paid that about January of last year. To me, worth every penny.
