Up for sale we have an absolutely beautiful 2011 Collings OM-1 flattop acoustic with hardshell case in very good used condition and perfect working order.
The Collings OM-1 is a premium, American-made Orchestra Model acoustic with a reputation for quality craftsmanship and exceptional tonal character. This 2011 model OM-1 is a superb example of Bill Collings’ celebrated Orchestra Model design: compact and comfortable, yet remarkably powerful, articulate, and responsive. Built in Austin, Texas, the OM-1 combines traditional tonewoods and vintage-inspired construction with the exacting standards for which Collings is renowned.

This particular instrument is in very good used condition overall showing light cosmetic wear with small dings, dents and surface scratches scattered throughout the body from normal use. There are lots of small pinhead sized dings across the top that are difficult to see but show up in direct light once you’re up close. The neck is in nice condition as well with similar small dings scattered along the length of the backside but nothing major or that can be felt by the hand while playing. The headstock shows some light surface scratches from string changes. Aside from a replacement compensated bone saddle (original included in the case), all other parts and components are original to the guitar to the best of our knowledge. Structurally sound, there are no cracks, breaks or repairs. Overall a very nice instrument that has been played and enjoyed but not abused, shows some wear but sounds and plays like an absolute dream.
