Sound Pure's Take
Absolutely gorgeous! The near perfect symmetry of the Cocobolo back and sides couldn't be a better compliment to the wondrously detailed harmonic content that seems to pour out of this instrument with even the lightest touch. Glassy, chimey rhythm playing sounds absolutely 3 dimensional, fingerpicking reveals plenty of depth and punch if you dig in. Not a lot of Cocobolo coming out of the Collings doors these days, folks--get it while it's here!
From Collings Guitars
'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.
