Sound Pure's Take

This OM2H T is a fantastic example of the traditional series that Collings builds, and has a look that will turn heads and a tone that will immediately take you back to a time when guitars were more than a serial number. The burst here is beautiful and overall the guitar fits like a glove if you're looking for a dependable OM size instrument. The combination of baked Sitka on the top with Rosewood on the back and sides lends itself to a very warm and airy tone with a nice richness that doesn't get distracting. The low end is tight and the highs shimmer nicely against the strong mid range sound of the Sitka. If you want a vintage inspired and sounding instrument with a bit more class and refinement please give us a call about this wonderful Collings OM2H T today!

From Collings Guitars

The Traditional or "T" Series guitars reflect Bill Collings' return to his guitar making roots and offer a new tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound. Each T Series guitar is built using animal protein glue and a very thin all nitrocellulose lacquer finish, making them exceptionally dynamic and responsive. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection. Each Traditional series guitar will come with a handmade lightweight Collings case designed and built in the Collings shop. The pairing of these new Traditional guitars and cases makes for a combination of old world quality and aesthetic that is unprecedented among instruments available today.
