Collings OM2H T with Old Growth Sitka Spruce Top

Here is a very special Collings OM2H T. This guitar features a select old growth Sitka spruce top. The old growth Sitka gives the guitar a dry, woody, aticulate, and very clear tone.  When matched with the Collings Traditional build option (which this guitar has), the guitar has true characteristics of a vintage guitar. Alive and responsive in all the best ways.

About the Collings Traditional Series

Traditional Voicing and Construction

Great care is taken in hand-selecting lightweight, resonant tonewoods for the Traditional series. Each instrument is then hand-voiced and constructed using bracing carves, tolerances, and techniques specific to the T-Series, all designed to showcase the most desirable characteristics present in coveted pre-war instruments. The result of this alternate approach to construction is a strong fundamental tonality with a dry and articulate pick attack and exceptionally dynamic response.

Ultra-thin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish

Allowing the lightweight tonewoods selected for the Collings Traditional series to move properly is critical to building a new instrument that – like the best vintage specimens – sounds open and feels “played-in”. Collings achieves this on their T-Series through the application of an ultra-thin, all-lacquer finish that is meticulously hand-sanded between coats and repeatedly measured throughout the process.
