The Collings OM2H Acoustic Guitar has a compact shape making it equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch. Its relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response!
'OM' in the Collings OM2H 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 flat pickers also find it appealing. 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.
