The Collings Forum

Hey all,

I am dropping the price on this to 3300 plus shipping. Let me know if you want more pictures, info, etc. I should ad that I do now have a T-series OM so I am not really interested in trades except for Collings electrics.

Thanks!

Hey all, I would like to offer this up for $3500. Let me know if you have any questions. It really is an amazing guitar especially if you need projection in a small body. I used it in bluegrass jams and it really cuts through (leans toward the Selmer tone IMHO). But I have also used it in small inti...

I bought one from Collings. Was easy to use.

Hey all, We are trying to pay off some bills, get a new car, etc. so I am having to let one go.

I put on some Pearse New Mediums (so not quite medium gauge) and the action did creep...

Silly, I totally agree. I was a red spruce snob for a long time (partially because of the research I have done on it over the past 20 years - I study wood for a living). But I am so smitten with this guitar. I love the soft compression and the fatness of the treble notes. Everything else has been in...

Hey all, I wanted the forum know how impressed I am with my new OM1T (purchsed from the kind folks at TME). I have owned seven Collings acoustics (D's and OM's) and currently have a D1AT and an OM1A in addition to the OM1T. You probably know where this is going..... I honestly thought I was an adiro...

Now with a picture!

Hey all, I am putting up my 2014 Collings OM1A for sale or for trade (see below). It was a custom order through Kim at Cotten and it has a slightly darker burst than normal with slightly darker back and sides as well (walnut stain). The burst is amazing - pictures really don't do it justice. The gui...
