Sound Pure's Take

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, new guitar with an old soul 

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.
