Here we have a remarkable Collings OM3Bba in Brazilian Rosewood and Red (Adirondack) Spruce. This OM has all the hallmarks of a great pre war style guitar, with excellent power and strong projection. The time tested combo of Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce really shines here and it is easy to understand why it is so well regarded. The tone of this guitar is killer, the basses are thunderous in the true sense of the word, and the trebles are crisp and concise, cutting through the mix perfectly. The playabilty is smooth and effortless, just as we expect from Collings. Comes with a Calton Flight Case ($1000 value).

This is one of the best Collings I have ever played. The Brazilian Rosewood is beautiful and the Red Spruce is perfect for a pre war style guitar. This thing is a cannon, in spite of its size. I think even bluegrass pickers would have a hard time finding a better guitar, but this will also make the finger style players equally happy. What a great little guitar!
This is a great example of Collings at the top of their game. It plays easily and would be ideal for session play or even group settings. It takes nicely to fingerstyle as well.
