Collings 42-style guitars are a rare treat, and examples like this one are truly seldom seen.

This guitar takes one of Collings most popular models, the OM-42, and outfits it with a cutaway and a custom neck profile. We dare say this may be the first OM-42 with a cutaway we've received from Collings, and it's got us scratching our heads as to why we don't see them more often.

The addition of a cutaway enhances this already elegant instrument, both in appearance and playability. It also boasts a custom "C" neck carve, which closely mirrors the comfortable profile found on Collings's C-10 model.

The German Spruce top elevates the guitar's dynamic range and overall power, all while preserving a lovely warmth and roundness in its tone. This is simply a great sounding and incredibly versatile guitar. Collings 42-style guitars are a rare treat, and examples like this one are truly seldom seen.
