Lage's profound insights as a guitarist would play a key role in the creation of Collings’ T (Traditional) Series guitars. This rare collaboration, which continued right up until Bill’s passing, in July, 2017, has yielded another exceptional new guitar with an old soul. We are proud to present a highly personal extension of the T Series: the Julian Lage Signature OM1.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThough Lage’s guitar shares the same foundational specs as the OM1 T, it is unique in some key ways. Its neck feels like no other Collings guitar. That’s because it’s modelled after Lage’s cherished 1939 Martin 000-18. This pre-war gem is heard on the guitarist’s 2015 solo album, “World’s Fair,” and was his main touring acoustic for years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThe 000-18’s neck—which was of course originally hand-shaped and sanded—has a distinctive taper altered by decades of wear. For Lage, this particular neck had come to feel like home. Through careful analysis and digitisation of its unique dimensions, we were able to precisely recreate its worn-in, asymmetric feel on his signature model. While we maintained the relatively narrow 1 11\/16\" nut of the 000-18's neck, we extended the fretboard from the original short scale to our standard 25 ½\" length for slightly greater presence and note definition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eLage has an affinity both tonally and aesthetically for vintage guitars whose finishes have mellowed after years of playing. To recreate this effect we initially considered a varnish, but to achieve the ideal combination of a thin finish application and a vintage aesthetic, we landed on a custom satin lacquer. This new finish offering not only feels and looks right to Lage, he finds it has the same inherent openness of tone that is present in the best pre-war instruments.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eTop Wood: Sitka spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBack and Sides Wood: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNeck Wood: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNut Width: 1.69\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBody Binding: Tortoise with custom wood purflings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBridge and Fingerboard Wood: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin: Ebony with mother-of-pearl dot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNut and Saddle Material: Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNeck Profile: Custom JL carve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNeck Joint: Mortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eTruss Rod: Fully adjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003ePeghead Veneer: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eTuners: Reliced nickel Waverly with vintage oval buttons (16:1 ratio)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBackstrip: 1-style (walnut)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eRosette: Custom wood rosette\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eBrace Pattern: Custom Traditional Series pre-war scalloped X-brace (no tongue brace)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eFinish: Custom satin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003ePickguard: Tortoise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThis guitar presents in near-new condition – the top back and sides are basically blemish free, with only one small mark on the top bout, but nothing offensive.
