Collings Custom OM1 PH Cutaway Pete Huttlinger Signature Model ID-11696

Collings Custom OM1 Cutaway Pete Huttlinger Signature Model

An incredible guitarist and a personal friend to many here at the Collings shop, Pete Huttlinger has remained the first player to have a signature model Collings guitar. An initial run of these guitars were offered from 2011-2013, and we are excited to once again offer Pete’s favorite Collings guitar in honor of his memory.

This second run of limited edition models feature a custom fly fishing inlay, reflecting his lifelong love of the sport. A portion of the proceeds of each guitar will benefit the Pete Huttlinger Fund for Adult Congenital Cardiac Research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Pete Huttlinger is recognized around the world as one of the greatest fingerstyle guitar players of our time. His amazing ability to play melody, harmony, rhythm and everything in between has long captivated fans and fellow musicians alike. Pete bought his first Collings in March of 1997. Over the years, he has continually supported and promoted Collings instruments and, in the process, has become a great friend. For decades, his beautiful playing and warm spirit have uplifted many hearts.

The Pete Huttlinger model is an OM1 Cutaway with Pete's signature elegantly inlaid in the 12th fret and a custom "Fly Fishing" Inlay on the Fretboard. This guitar also features an Sitka Spruce top, 1 3/4" Nut Width and Mahogany Back & sides. We invite you to take one home - you might just start playing like Pete!

Audiences and fans around the world know him best for his fantastic sense of humor and mind-blowing chops all combined to make full-on, entertaining shows of laughter and chin-dropping.
