Re: WTB: OM1JAL

Peanut,
Are you still interested in buying a used (mint) OM1-AJL? Skinny or wide neck? Collings case?

Re: Does this "Collings" 0001 look 'legit' to you???

i remember seeing an older 12-fret collings with the same slotted headstock. i remember it well, because i prefer that more martin-like style.

Re: Collings OM1ajl

i have a 0 sized collings with a standard 1-11/16" neck, and the skinny JL neck is closer to that one than the 1-3/4" neck i have on an OM-1. (of course, the 0 neck is a short scale neck.) i think the 1-3/4" neck option for the JL guitar is the Traditional neck, and i haven't played t...

Re: Collings OM1ajl

i've had this guitar for a month with the factory installed nickel strings, and the sound is so good, i don't want to change a thing. i may try these strings on my other collings guitars.

rockbridge guitars

i'm wondering if there are any rockbridge owners still out there. i've had my J-35 model for 12 years, and i still like it for flat-picking.

these guitars got mixed reviews in the old forum: some folks felt these guitars weren't banjo killers. my guitar has gotten louder with age. :mrgreen:

Re: Collings OM1ajl

you guys are right! the website lists a OM-1JL and OM-1 as both having the "mortise and tenon hybrid" neck joint. i thought this was different from the "traditional" collings bolt-on neck. that being said, it's surprising to me how different these guitars sound. i have both mode...

does ajl stand for adirondack Julian Lange?
yes. the adi top is an upgrade. the julian lage model also has a (1) new neck profile; (2) satin finish; (3) different neck joint.

Re: Collings OM1ajl

i still have the factory nickel strings on the guitar. i really like them. i was told by my dealer that some people also like pyramid round core.

i can't imagine any strings sounding bad on this guitar. :roll:
