This gorgeous custom OM1 model adds all solid Honduran mahogany construction, a pearloid headstock and pickguard, Gloss Black top, Doghair finished back & sides, and other cool touches to the standard model.
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.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.
