'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was firstdesigned it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists whochoose 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.
This is a age old classic with mahogany body and sitka spruce top, if it isn't broke.. Do not bother trying to fix it! Mahogany and Sitka spruce is one of the most commonly recorded guitar tone woods, nice and soft when it needs to be, full of mid range cut to punch trough in a mix. Well rounded instrument for all styles of play, from strummers to very dynamic finger style playing.
