What we think:

What a gorgeous back on this guitar! Certain pieces of mahogany are magical both sonically and visually. Perfectly balanced and a joy to play, this guitar is a finger-picker's dream, yet it can be used for other styles as well. It delivers a rich, focused tone that'll draw attention both on and off stage.

Description:

'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.
