AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
OM1-ENGELMANN
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Collings OM1 Custom pairs the responsive shimmer of Engelmann spruce with the warmth and clarity of Honduran mahogany in a body designed for expressive players. Originally developed as the “Orchestral Model,” this 14-fret OM has become a favorite among fingerstyle soloists and flatpickers alike. Its compact dimensions and shallow body offer remarkable comfort whether you're onstage or relaxing at home, while its pre-war scalloped bracing brings out exceptional balance and articulation across the tonal spectrum.
From the tasteful rope purfling to the sleek tortoise-style bindings, every detail of the OM1 Custom reflects Collings’ legendary craftsmanship. The modified V neck profile provides a confident yet refined feel, and the compound radius ebony fingerboard offers effortless playability up and down the neck. With its high-gloss nitro finish, Waverly tuners, and deluxe hardshell case, this guitar is built not only to impress but to last a lifetime.
