Collings OM2H East Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce 2012

The OM2H is Collings flagship model, often regarded as the highest bar in acoustic guitar builds.

Collings say:

‘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 particular guitar is in fantastic condition, with very light signs of use, no issues and well cared for by one previous owner. This guitar shipped from Collings on 7/2/2012 as confirmed by Collings in an email. Beautifully balanced and effortless to play, th OM2H is very understated yet absolutely stunning little guitar!
