Sale Pending - Collings OM1A Hill Country - Adirondack Spruce & Honduran Mahogany #36728

The Collings OM1A Hill Country is a masterfully crafted orchestra model that showcases the remarkable tonal refinement and uncompromising craftsmanship for which Collings has become world renowned. Built using the innovative Hill Country construction and voicing, this exceptional acoustic delivers an open, responsive voice with outstanding balance, warmth, and dynamic range, making it equally inspiring for fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and singer songwriters alike.

Its premium Adirondack spruce top is paired with beautifully matched Honduran mahogany back and sides, creating a classic tonewood combination celebrated for its clarity, projection, and rich harmonic character. The Hill Country build enhances the instrument's responsiveness, producing a mature, broken in voice with exceptional sensitivity and impressive headroom. Finished in an ultra thin high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the body is allowed to resonate freely while displaying the natural beauty of the carefully selected tonewoods.

Elegant appointments complement the guitar's understated aesthetic. Tortoise body binding frames the instrument beautifully, while the ebony fingerboard is accented with gold mother of pearl dot inlays and matching ebony binding. The hand poured tortoise pickguard is paired with a matching rosette ring, wedge, and heel cap, demonstrating the extraordinary level of detail that defines every Hill Country instrument. An ebony bridge with 2 5/16 inch string spacing is fitted with aged bone saddle and nut, while ebony bridge pins complete the refined appearance.

The Honduran mahogany neck features the comfortable Hill Country Small profile and joins the body with Collings' precise mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint. A compound ebony fingerboard radius of 14 to 26 inches provides effortless playability across the entire neck, while medium 18 percent nickel silver frets offer smooth, accurate performance. The square peghead without a volute is capped with an ebony veneer featuring no front logo, with the Collings stamp discreetly placed on the back for an elegant and understated presentation. Relic nickel Waverly tuning machines provide exceptional tuning precision while complementing the instrument's vintage inspired aesthetic.

Internally, the Hill Country scalloped X brace design with its abbreviated soundboard graft allows the Adirondack top to respond with remarkable immediacy, creating a lively and expressive instrument that feels responsive under even the lightest touch while retaining impressive projection when played aggressively. Every element of the design has been carefully voiced to maximize tonal richness, sustain, and balance across the entire frequency spectrum.

Weighing an incredibly light 3 lbs 12 oz, this Collings OM1A Hill Country includes its deluxe hardshell case and comes fitted with D'Addario EJ-16 strings. Representing the pinnacle of modern acoustic guitar craftsmanship, it offers a refined playing experience and an inspiring voice that will continue to develop beautifully for decades to come.
