Austin Guitar House is proud to be an authorized dealer for
OM1 - Baked Sitka Top, Figured Mahogant Back and Sides
‘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 finger-style guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing and OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore the neck 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 a balanced tone and immediate response.
