Collings OM2H Custom Cutaway w/ Herringbone Body Binding w/ No Tongue Brace ID-12204

OM2H w/ Cutaway

OM2H '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.

The Sitka Spruce top on this guitar gives off a bright sound that will cut through any instrument mix. The fretboard inlays are standard small dots. This model also features a neck substitution(hence the haircut peghead) that gives this model guitar a C Shape Neck Profile which is the same neck that Collings uses on their popular C10, SJ, and CJ model guitars.

This Guitar comes with a Hardshell OM Case.
