Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
This stunning OM2H sounds like a record store come to life! Collings pulled out all the stops on this one, including the tongue brace. Every feature contributes to a tone that will coax a smile onto any music enthusiast's lips. The deeply scalloped pre-war bracing lets it ring out loud and clear at the drop of a feather. The hide glue holding it together lets it vibrate with natural ease. The extra-thin finish will ensure that no drop of magic is squandered as you pick out your favorite tune. Even the case is a work of art. It's hard for us to say enough about this guitar. It must be played to be believed. It's a beautiful, like new guitar with an old soul.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
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.
