You couldn't do better. I had one from the 90s. I went to the Acoustic Centre in Wapping with the small-bodied S10 in mind, but I played everything they had and when I played the O32 the sound was just so good - big and ringing - I changed my mind on the spot.

At one point, after I'd moved out of London in 2002, I made a trip back to look for a smaller guitar to carry around for casual playing. The only thing I found that I liked (after looking in a lot of shops) was a Lowden F12!. At the time I didn't think it made sense to have an O32 and an F12, but a few years ago I did change the O32 for an F12, which is what I use now.

But you'll love playing the O32. Best of luck with it. (btw, I used d'Addario EJ16, 12-53, on it; never got on with the feel of Elixirs and didn't like 13s on it either)
