This special Used OM1 is a product of Bill Collings' friendship and collaboration with Julian Lage, taking place in the last few years before Collings' passing. Lage's love of the way time transforms an instrument was a guiding force for the design process, manifesting in a custom carved neck replicating the feel of his 1939 Martin 000-18, focus on an even response, and a vintage script peghead logo in tribute to the first days of Bill Collings' shop.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good condition with modest wear, including some scratches on the headstock and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

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.
