2007 Collings OM2HG

We have had many Collings instruments in here over the years, but this is hands down the best small body Collings we have ever heard. The OM might just be the perfect guitar shape, and this fine instrument is incredibly responsive with clean and tight bass strings, a punchy midrange, and crystalline highs with soaring overtones. 

This instrument was most likely a custom build with its lack of a pickguard,  upgraded German spruce top, and Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay. 

Overall this instrument is in great condition with a handful of top dings and play wear. Part of the reason we believe this instrument sounds so good is that it was played and not just a collectors piece. 

This instrument comes with it's original hard shell case. 

From Collings:

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 a balanced tone and immediate response.
