{"product_id":"collings-om1a-jl-julian-lage-sunburst","title":"Collings OM1A JL Julian Lage Sunburst","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Bill Collings first met jazz virtuoso Julian Lage in 2014, their shared passion for craftsmanship sparked a unique collaboration that would profoundly shape the Collings T (Traditional) Series guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collaboration between Julian Lage and Bill Collings continued until Bill’s passing in 2017, resulting in the Julian Lage Signature OM1A – a guitar that blends exceptional artistry with a timeless soul. Based on the OM1 T, this model stands apart with a neck inspired by Lage’s treasured 1939 Martin 000-18. That pre-war gem, with its worn, asymmetrical hand-carved neck shaped by decades of playing, has long been Lage’s main touring companion and was featured prominently on his 2015 solo album \u003cem\u003eWorld’s Fair\u003c\/em\u003e. Through meticulous analysis and digital mapping, Collings recreated the distinctive feel of that neck, while extending the fingerboard to a full 25 ½” scale for greater presence and note clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA satin finish gives the OM1A a played-in character, both visually and tonally, allowing the guitar to breathe with an open, resonant voice reminiscent of the finest pre-war instruments. Described by Lage himself as a “lovingly neutral” guitar, it delivers balance and responsiveness across all registers, rewarding subtlety and expression. Completed with a script peghead logo that nods to Bill Collings’ early work, the Julian Lage Signature OM1A is both a tribute to Bill’s legacy and a testament to the enduring artistry that defines Collings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"35969","offer_id":53838902886719,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G15106062","price":5499.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/image_1920_edfdd36a-25d1-411a-af62-f9fb84440960.jpg?v=1782094854","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/collings-om1a-jl-julian-lage-sunburst","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
