Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Pure Class! You can count on the German/EIR combination to provide as much detail and tonal character as it does versatility. The handsome burst, flamey Maple binding, and herringbone all hit the eyes as classic and personal at the same time. 15/10!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup, Polish
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.
