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.
