This OM Herringbone with German Spruce top is a beautiful instrument with volume and tonality that exists outside of its weight class. While the OM is a more physically approachable instrument, it can stand up to some dreadnoughts without fear, and translate the intimacy of a smaller body model at the same time. This guitar has some significant pick scratching on the bass side of the top along with some dings from use sporadically spaced around the guitar. There is some dulled finish on the back as well as some light scratching and a small area of buckle rash.

A note from Collings: " 'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it hasbecome 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."
