Description
Built during 2013, this Collings OM2H Short Scale Cutaway Sunburst acoustic guitar, is based on the classic Orchestra Model design developed at the end of the 1920s and in the Martin catalog for 1930. This is pretty much as good as it gets for this style of guitar.
The 'OM2H GSS Cut SB' name expands to Orchestra Model, trim level 2, Herringbone purfling, German Spruce, Short Scale, Cutaway and Sunburst.
Collings quality is consistently very high, from wood selection to nitrocellulose lacquer finish, setup and everything in between. These are some of the finest instruments available anywhere. The tone matches the looks!
This Collings OM2H guitar is in overall good condition with expected wear, a few light marks around the body, and plays very well. The original Collings-branded arched top hard shell case by TKL is included.
Construction and Materials
Collings uses a hybrid mortise and tenon neck joint that relies on a precisely fitted join supported by a bolt. Visible through the soundhole is a Mahogany plug on the neck block, which covers the bolt. This arrangement makes the nearly inevitable neck reset much easier and less risky to the the guitar, and also lowers the cost of that work.
Varying from the stock configuration, the Collings OM2H GSS replaces the Sitka Spruce top with Adirondack-braced German Spruce, offering potentially quicker response and greater headroom.
As well, the 24.89 inch or 632mm short scale length is .625 inches or 15.875mm shorter than the stock 25.5 inch or 647.7 full scale, making for smaller finger reaches and slightly reduced string tension.
The Venetian style rounded cutaway is the next major option along with the Sunburst finish. The body has herringbone purfling and an Abalone sound hole ring.
The rest of this guitar follows the standard specs, with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back and head plate, Mahogany for the body blocks and neck, and Ebony for the fingerboard, head plate and Pyramid-style bridge. The position markers are a classic snowflake pattern and the Collings logo is inlaid Mother of Pearl.
The nut and saddle are Bone. Tuners are gold-plated Waverly open gear models. A K&K Pure Mini pickup set is installed to a tail-block mounted endpin jack.
