Description

Used but excellent condition OM3 features a German Spruce top and custom picked quilted Mahogany, as well as an added flourish to the peghead inlay. The nut width is 1 3/4". Includes hardshell case.

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 fretsmuch 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 balanced tone and an immediate response."
