I'M SELLING ONE OF TWO GUITARS!
The other one is in this ad:
Collings OM1 Acoustic Guitar £2.395 ono
It means, that you can come and try out two similar and very different guitars!
THIS Collings OM1H Serial Number 16908 is from 2009-10.
'OM' means size 000
'1' means Select Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany back and sides
'H' stands for herringbone-style top body binding. This option costs £100+ extra.
The original Collings hard shell case is included.
It has been played, but is in excellent condition with minor signs of use.
One ding stands more out, as can be seen in the last picture, but it is minor.
The top is evenly coloured, I just don't seem to be able to catch that.
This is a world class premium instrument, and it is pick-up only.
You'll have to come to Bristol to try the guitar out for yourself.
I will not ship it, and I am not getting involved in returns.
The guitar is lovely and in excellent condition, so come and try it and buy it, if you like it.
'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 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, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.
