Pre owned Collings OM2H Sunburst
'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.
