Does it get any better?  One of Collings' most prized models in ideal tonewoods, one of which isn't even available from any more (that'd be the Madagascar), equipped with L.R. Baggs' top of the line pickup, in excellent condition.  Don't wait on this one--it won't be here long!

Condition: Used, Excellent

Here's what we thought when we had it in new:

If I ever stop playing it, I may just hang this one up backwards. This figuring is just unreal. Red, black, and intricate; this rosewood is proof that the art world still has nothing on mother nature. Best part is that it sounds as good as it looks. It's as complex and dense as a jungle and just as full of life. Every open chord I hit is like sunlight pouring through the trees, overtones floating around like dust motes. 

It's got a rare combination of focus and breadth. It hits you straight on and surrounds you at the same time. It loves fingers, but doesn't shy away from a flat-pick. Really a stunning OM!

'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.
