This Collings - OM2H Traditional T Series - Baked is one powerful, and rich sounding OM. The reaction from everyone here at the shop has been how full and resonant it feels from the very first strum. With its vintage-inspired build techniques, animal protein glue and extra thin finish, this lightweight OM2H has a focused fundamental that is reminicident of our favorite Pre-war guitars. The "Baked" (Collings lingo for torrefied) Sitka Spruce top makes this an extremely stable and broken-in new guitar that responds well to a very light touch, but has the mojo to handle some big flatpicking.
The Traditional neck profile is one of our favorite aspects of these models, based off the Vintage Now dimensions, but with a more distinct taper, and extremely comfortable rounded fingerboard edge, this guitar is a joy to play. Includes a custom built Traditional Collings case and a free setup from our luthiers.
