Collings OM1 Guitar Cut Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood ID-10180

Collings OM1 Guitar Cut Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood

While the Collings OM1 comes standard with mahogany back and sides this guitar has been custom ordered with Indian Rosewood. This is the guitar for someone who loves the sound of rosewood but yet is looking for the simple aesthetic of a standard OM1. 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 topwood on this Collings OM1 is Sitka Spruce, paired with rosewood back and sides. This is a classic combination that is highly versatile for many playing styles. 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. When combined with rosewood on the back and sides, Sitka is very lush and has a warm, rich low end.

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