Jud thanks for clearing that up, and Dave, stay away from dope!  Now that you guys brought this up, I am compelled to g look at those models again!  Thanks, Edward

Dave --- Size-wise, GPCPA-4 is falls between the OMCPA-4 and the DCPA-4 ... in appearance, it looks like very much the OMCPA-4, but it's actually bigger.

Sorry Jud. I feel like a dope. I MEANT to say the OMCPA4 is like the GPCPA4.  Not the DCPA4. These two guitars are, as far as I can tell, the same size. Look the same. Have the same electronics.

Anyone know the difference?

Dave ... size is the difference.  The OMCPA-4 is a little orchestra model and the DCPA-4 is a full sized dreadnought.  Materials and electronics are the same.

I think I've mentioned this before, but I have the OMCPA4, and I haven't found any real difference between it and the DCPA4. Does anyone know if there IS a difference?

Hey Jud, Don't discount "simple"!  Although I am primarily an acoustic player, I do own a few electrics and some of them have some fancy electronics, but I find myself using the same simple settings on them...My acoustics all have Fishman systems in them...my two older Guilds have the old Matrix undersaddle pickup with the old GP-2 preamps with the vol. and stacked toone knobs sticking out of the upper bout...my two newer Gibsons have the Fishman Matrix Infinity system in them...one undersaddle pickup and a simple "in the soundhole" volume and tone.  Simple works, especially onstage when you have to make changes fast and having a "sample" of a prewar Martin D45 doesn't sound that much different in a big outdoor venue through the PA system!  I have not heard of this Fishman F1 system before and  I will have to check it out!  Thanks, Edward

Edward ...Yes, just the simple one.  Nothing fancy.  Does a real good job though.

Is your's the Fishman "Analog" F1?

Comment by Jud Hair on February 1, 2012 at 6:08pm

Edward ... it has the Fishman F-1 pickup.  Simplified version of the new Aura system.  Not nearly as sophisticated as the Aura, but then I'm not a particularly sophisticated guitaist, LOL.

Hey Robert,

I have a '72 000-28 too! Mine is NOT in mint condition (I traded it for one of my own builds and it came to me that way). We should compare serial numbers....maybe they're sisters, or brothers, or cousins......or next door neighbors LOL

Welcome!
