New Arrival!!
New Collings OM1!! Absolutely stunning!! We ordered this OM1 short scale (24 7/8") and a nut width of 1 3/4"! It's a fingerstyle dream! This beautiful OM1 is a simple yet masterfully crafted orchestra model that speaks volumes. Its select Sitka spruce top is perfectly bookmatched, glowing softly beneath a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that invites the light and lets the wood breathe. The Honduran mahogany back and sides are warm and reddish-brown, subtly figured, exuding an old-soul character even when brand new.
In your hands, the OM1 feels alive—lightweight, impossibly resonant, and impeccably balanced. The 1 3/4” nut width and shorter 24 7/8” scale length offers that sweet middle ground between fast playability and spacious fingerstyle comfort.
Notes leap off the strings with sparkling clarity, yet there’s a roundness to the mahogany tone that softens the edges just enough. Trebles are articulate without being harsh, mids are rich and vocal, and the bass is tight, focused, and supportive. Whether you’re flatpicking a melodic line, fingerpicking with surgical precision, or simply strumming open chords, the OM1 delivers with a tonal balance that feels intimate yet full.
Every detail is refined: the hand-scalloped bracing, the flawless neck joint, the perfectly set frets. There’s a sense of purpose in its simplicity, like it was built not to dazzle, but to disappear in your hands and let the music speak.
