Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Excellent condition with modest wear including faint scratches and other minor signs of normal handling and use. This lightly used Collings has a custom all-mahogany body for a warm and focused tone.
Collings' "Vintage Now" option features a neck profile that provides a vintage-inspired feel but with modern playability. Vintage Now necks are larger than the standard profile but not as chunky as a true vintage neck. This is the same profile used for Collings Traditional Series guitars. Vintage Now necks also offer a slightly wider 2 5/16" string spacing at the saddle which is especially useful for fingerstyle artists.
See below for more details and specifications.
FROM COLLINGS:
‘OM’ stands for “Orchestra Model,” but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body – barely over 4 inches deep – results in a balanced tone and immediate response.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
