This guitar is exacting in tone and playability. The OM body size is a prime choice to pair with a short scale and Mahogany top. The strong lower register is balanced with the mid focus an all mahogany guitar achieves. The attention to fine craft means a stable and uniquely robust instrument given the weight. Collings continually impresses and always strives to provide players with the instruments they need to continue to produce music.
Collings on the OM 1: "'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 balanced tone and an immediate response."
Comes with the original Collings hard shell case.
