New Arrival!!
Collings OM1 Julian Lage Signature!! It's perfect! These masters (Collings and Julian Lage) have come together to create a guitar that will move any player with it's gorgeous tone a playability. The voice of this guitar sings with articulate overtones and angel like sustain. This guitar is a truly special instrument. More than guitar, it is an instant heirloom and a pure vehicle for artistic expression that can inspire all levels of players and their audience.
Here is some info from Collings:
This OM1 was modeled after Lage's 1939 Martin 000-18. The 000-18’s neck, which was originally hand-shaped and sanded, has a distinctive taper altered by decades of wear. For Lage, this particular neck has come to feel like home. Through careful analysis and digitization of its unique dimensions, we were able to precisely recreate its worn-in, asymmetrical feel on his signature model. While we maintained the relatively narrow 1 11/16″ nut of the 000-18’s neck, we extended the fretboard from the original short scale to our standard 25 ½” length for slightly greater presence and note definition.
