Why not spread the cost?
This is an all-but-new Collings OM-1, a 2019 model featuring Honduran Mahogany back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top.
80 years after this body shape was first designed, it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing.
The OM-1 features pre-war scalloped X bracing, simple 1-style decorations such as a black and white wood rosette, Mother of Pearl dot inlays and a tortoise-shell pick guard.
