Collings OM1 Guitar Baked Sitka Spruce and Mahogany ID-10968

Collings OM1 Guitar Baked Sitka Spruce Top and Mahogany Back and Sides

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. Collings has transformed the standard OM, into a true "do it all" instrument.

The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (at barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.

The topwood on this Collings OM1 Guitar is made from Baked Sitka Spruce, paired with mahogany back and sides. This combination is highly versatile for many playing styles.

Baked Sitka can be played fingerstyle or with a flatpick and can excel at both. It is ideal for flatpickers who don't require the stiffness of Adirondack, offering more volume and responsiveness from a lighter touch.

This Collings OM1 is simply appointed with Tortoise style binding, an ebony fretboard and headstock overlay, finished off with Nickel Waverly tuners. Hardshell case included.
