The Rio Grande Acoustic by Greg Bennett Guitars

[gro...@guitargearheads.com]

My memories of the acoustic guitar go back to my very early childhood
when my Dad would pick up his old "Decca" acoustic guitar and play.
Over the years there would be many nights of jam sessions where he and
my uncles played for hours. I can still remember the guitars they
played, and although they had different brands, every single guitar was
a dreadnought. Years later when I began playing guitar myself, I
naturally leaned toward the same body style that I had become used to
while growing up. Ultimately, every acoustic guitar that I have owned
up to this point was a dreadnought style body.

So when Dan and I were selecting the guitars we wanted to review from
the Greg Bennett line, I naturally selected a dreadnought for my
review. When I told Dan which guitar I wanted to review, he informed me
that I was stuck on dreadnoughts, and that I should broaden my horizons
and try something in a different body style. Realizing that what he was
saying was true, I set out to find something different than I had ever
reviewed before. The result was the "Rio Grande OM 15 CE" acoustic
guitar, which is an orchestra model body with a cutaway.
