Collings OM3 Pre Owned

Offering the player 3 series enhanced specifications and a first class built, Collings really do make the most wonderful musical instruments. This excellent condition pre owned Collings OM3 sounds stunning and has both power and finesse with bags of character. 

This is what the guys at Collings have to say about this OM3. ‘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 a balanced tone and immediate response.
