Description

Pre-order our incoming Collings OM3 Short Scale with Maple back and sides, an Englemann Spruce top, and a 1-3/4" nut width. Expected to ship November 2025. To learn more, reach out to Kim at kim@thenorthamericanguitar.com

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.

Our 3-style (OM3) features an ivoroid body/fingerboard/peghead binding and butt wedge, no herringbone top purfling, a “chevron” backstrip, no fingerboard inlays, and an abalone rosette."

Comes with hardshell case.
