One of Colling's earliest models, the OM2H stands as one of the best rosewood OMs on the market.

Why We Love This

Tight, crisp, and warm, all at once it is a flagship example of the Collings sound, featuring their excellent worksmanship throughout and upgraded with a Venetian cutaway.
_______________________________

'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar.

The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.
