This 2014 Collings OM1 with Spanish Cedar Back and Sides and German Spruce Top is in excellent condition, and includes the original hardshell case. It has some light scratching on the sides and one larger scratch across the back, but is structurally perfect and has barely even any pick scratching on the pickguard.
‘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.
This custom version features highly figured Spanish Cedar back and sides with a German Spruce top, giving a treble-focused voice that cuts through a mix well and amplifies intimate finger-picked lines with clarity. The slightly wider 1 3/4" Nut Width gives just enough extra string spacing on the first few frets to accommodate any size of hand without feeling cramped or too wide.
