Sound Pure's Take
Own a guitar that's more than an instrument—it's an investment in magnificent tone! This Collings OM1A JL Julian Lage Signature model blends the power of an Adirondack spruce top with the rich warmth of Honduran mahogany back and sides, all built with the highly resonant Traditional Series voicing. The satin nitrocellulose finish and custom JL carve neck are designed for supreme comfort and an open, vintage sound right out of the custom hardshell case. With its light build and unique specs like the early script logo and relic Waverly tuners, this OM acoustic guitar rewards every nuance of your playing. It’s a rock-solid, absolutely phenomenal instrument, guaranteed to inspire your best music for decades to come!
From Collings Guitars
When Bill Collings first met the brilliant young jazz musician Julian Lage in 2014, the two began a series of in-depth conversations about their respective crafts. Lage’s profound insights as a guitarist would play a key role in the creation of Collings’ Traditional Series guitars. This rare collaboration, which continued right up until Bill’s passing in July of 2017, has yielded another exceptional new guitar with an old soul. We are proud to present a highly-personal extension of the T Series: the Julian Lage OM1 signature model, or “OM1 JL.”
