Collings OM2H Natural Sitka/EIR w/case 36838

Serial: 36838

The Collings OM2H is one of the benchmark modern orchestra models, pairing a comfortable 14-fret OM body with the clarity, balance, and precision Collings is known for. This example features a Natural Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and a 1 3/4" nut width for a slightly roomier feel at the left hand.

The OM body is compact and easy to handle, with a shallow depth that gives the guitar a quick response and balanced voice. It is a strong choice for fingerstyle, flatpicking, light strumming, recording, and players who want a versatile acoustic that stays clear across the entire register.

The Sitka spruce top gives the guitar a broad dynamic range with a smooth, musical response, while the East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth, sustain, and harmonic richness. The result is a refined OM with strong note separation, focused low end, and enough headroom to handle a confident right hand.

Traditional 2-style appointments include ivoroid body binding with herringbone purfling, a 2-style zipper backstrip, ebony fingerboard with abalone short diamonds and squares, ebony belly-style bridge, tortoise pickguard, nickel Waverly tuners, and a deluxe hardshell case.
