This is an exceptionally good-sounding Collings OM-42 Brazilian, with just the kind of good looks you imagine an instrument that sounds this lush would possess. Decked out with style-42 abalone purfling, style-42 snowflake inlays, an abalone Torch on the headstock, and some seriously pretty Brazilian Rosewood, this guitar's classiness of stature is matched only by its incredibly rich and powerful sound. The original pickguard has been replaced with a faux-tortoiseshell substitute, and the bridge pins have been upgraded to bone.
As far as condition goes, there's not a whole lot to say. Yes, this guitar is 20 years old -- but it sure doesn't look it. The surfaces are clean, and free of any significant scratches or blemishes. There are no cracks or finish wear. Only the faintest signs of handling and its nicely yellowed Adirondack Spruce top will let you know this guitar has had a few years to mature. If you've been waiting for a Brazilian Rosewood Collings OM to surface, this one gets our highest recommendation. Priced with TKL hardshell case.
