This used Julian Lage OM dates to just 2024, and is a great sounding example of what quickly became one of our favorite guitars coming out of Texas. A signature model based on a collaboration between lauded guitarist Julian Lage and the late Bill Collings, the OM1 JL reached a new level of vintage-inspired design at Collings. Featuring a distinct, focused, open tone - even more so than the usual Traditional models - this JL is woody and responsive thanks to both the build and the sitka spruce top. The neck sports a Custom JL profile which is based of scans and measurement of Julian's 1939 Martin 000-18 and features an extremely comfortable rounded fretboard edge.
Here in Excellent condition, there is some minor pickguard wear, a few minor impression in the finish along a few nicks in the headstock veneer from string changes. The neck has glossed up a little from play. Minimal fretwear. Includes the original hardshell case.
