OM2H A Baked Top
‘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 soloist who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing. 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 balance tone and an immediate response.
