2017 OM2HG SUNBURST COCOBOLO
'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. – From the Collings Website
This beautifully appointed OM2H has some special mojo. It contains the characteristic sustain and blossoming overtones which Collings is known for but also has a transparency and airiness that is often associated with German Spruce. The Cocobolo back and sides, while not only beautiful, highlight the mid-range balance and strong note foundation which are part of the Collings DNA. This is a truly stunning instrument.
