Collings OM2H with Cutaway, Sunburst Top, and Vine Peghead Inlay

A Visual and Sonic Masterpiece: The Ultimate Custom Orchestra Model.

The Collings OM2H stands as the benchmark for the modern Orchestra Model—revered for its perfect string-to-string balance, immediate projection, and immense dynamic range. 

This custom OM2H elevates this legendary platform into the stratosphere with a breathtaking suite of custom aesthetic and ergonomic upgrades. From its rich, deep sunburst top finish to the intricate, hand-inlaid Abalone Vine cascading down the peghead and the classic 45-Style Snowflakes dressing the ebony board, this guitar is a visual symphony.

Built with a custom, player-preferred 1-3/4” nut width and a Venetian cutaway, it offers effortless access to the upper registers, making it an inspiring tool for fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and elite collectors alike.

Key Features & Custom Options:

• Bespoke Inlay Artistry: Vine & 45-Style Snowflakes
  This instrument features some of the most labor-intensive cosmetic upgrades available from the Austin, Texas workshop. The headstock boasts a stunning, meticulously hand-engraved Vine inlay that weaves beautifully down the peghead veneer, perfectly complemented by a set of classic 45-Style Snowflake fretboard markers.

• Custom Sunburst & Premium Tonewoods
  Beneath the flawless, hand-sprayed custom sunburst lacquer top lies a premium, master-voiced Sitka Spruce soundboard. Paired with dark, straight-grained East Indian Rosewood back and sides, this wood combination delivers deep, authoritative lows, a punchy, clear midrange, and bell-like highs with shimmering harmonic overtones.

• Venetian Cutaway & Ergonomic 1-3/4" Nut Width
  Designed for the uncompromising player, the smooth Venetian cutaway allows your hand to glide seamlessly up to the 20th fret. To further optimize playability, this OM2H was ordered with an upgraded 1-3/4” nut width, providing just the right amount of extra string spacing for intricate fingerstyle arrangements and clean chord extensions.

• Hand-Voiced Acoustic Architecture
  Every single component of this guitar has been optimized by Collings' master luthiers. The pre-war scalloped Sitka Spruce X-bracing is meticulously voiced to match the density of this specific top, ensuring maximum acoustic efficiency, brilliant note separation, and a mature, wide-open voice that will only deepen with age.
