Description
This instrument is a blemished model with a ding located on the top of the body just below to bridge as seen in photos above. This blemish is purely cosmetic and does not affect the playability nor structural integrity of the instrument in any way. However, because of this imperfection we have further discounted this instrument
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.
We inspect and setup each an every instrument we ship out for maximum playability. We adjust the action and adjust intonation when possible. If you would like a specific setup, just add it to your order notes and we would be happy to adjust to your liking.
