Sound Pure's Take
The OM from Collings is one of the most versatile guitars they produce. This guitar is comfortable being strummed, fingerpicked, and having single-lines played on it. It certainly excels most as a fingerstyle guitar. The shallow body-depth produces almost instant reponse. It's not overly boomy and maintains good clarity with chords up and down the fretboard. There is really good midrange punch to lines played on the top string (which can often sound thin on some guitars). The Indian Rosewood contributes to a consise and bold low-end response. It also has wonderful overtones in the higher register. All around, this is a fantastic instrument from Collings. Please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions.
From Collings Guitars
OM2H
'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.
