Collings OM1 Custom 'Black Top / Doghair Finish' Acoustic Guitar

The Collings OM1 Custom 'Black Top / Doghair Finish' is an Orchestra Model built by hand in the Collings workshop in Austin, Texas, continuing the legacy of the late Bill Collings. The OM1 is renowned for its outstanding sound, and this example showcases Collings' mastery of mahogany, delivering a crisp attack, strong note fundamental, sweet midrange and exquisite overtone detail.

A gloss piano black finish on the soundboard is paired with Collings' distinctive doghair finish on the back and sides, with an ivoroid pickguard and 2-style rosette adding to the visual appeal. Supplied with a Collings hardshell case, this custom-ordered OM1 is ideal for players and collectors who want a one-of-a-kind statement instrument with genuine Collings tone.
