Collings

'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

We have become big fans of the old growth tone woods being offered by Collings. The term “old growth” does not refer to the tree itself, but the forest from which it has been harvested. The slower growth of these trees create a tighter grain pattern with higher density, which leads to a superior resonance. There is an immediate response out of the box with a distinct openness that normally comes with years of play. One strum can make you a believer!
