This OM-42 is the kind of Collings that reminds you why these guitars are so respected. The Adirondack has opened up nicely over time, and the Madagascar Rosewood is unusually fine—visually striking and tonally rich. 
I love it when a guitar's overtones exhibit this swelling quality after the initial attack. And this Collings has this in spades. Pluck a big chord, and just let the complexities build up and wash over you. Bass register is strong and well defined, plays nicely with the mids; trebles have a little extra crispness that cuts through the mix smoothly, rather than harsh. A gorgeous set of Madagascar Rosewood back and sides are the perfect companion to the Adirondack Spruce top with its blue-and-green sparkling Abalone 42-style trim. 1 in stock
