Collings OM 42A Adirondack Top
Item: COOM42A
This Custom ordered Collings Om 42 with upgraded Adirondack Top, 42 Style Abalone Top Border, 45 Style Snowflake Inlays, No Tongue Brace Option and 1 3/4" nut width is without a doubt one of the most jaw dropping Collings we have received to date. It's one of those great instruments that sounds as rich and sweet no matter how soft or hard you attack the strings. If you have a desire for a guitar that is as close to the ultimate this may well be it.
'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.
