Collings OM2H-T - Baked Sitka Spruce & Indian Rosewood

The Collings OM2H T with Baked Sitka Spruce & East Indian Rosewood is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending traditional design with modern innovation to create an instrument of extraordinary depth, clarity, and responsiveness.

From the moment you pick it up, the baked Sitka spruce top immediately sets the tone. The torrefaction process not only gives it a beautifully aged aesthetic but enhances the resonance and responsiveness, allowing the guitar to project a rich, open sound with remarkable articulation. It’s like playing a well-loved vintage instrument with decades of tonal maturity, yet it has the consistency and reliability that Collings is known for.

The East Indian Rosewood back and sides are equally stunning. They contribute a warmth and lushness to the tone, particularly in the low end, while still maintaining clarity in the mids and highs. This wood pairing strikes the perfect balance for fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike, giving you the versatility to handle anything from delicate, intricate pieces to robust, driving rhythms.

One of the standout features of this model is its responsiveness. Every subtle nuance of your playing is faithfully reproduced, thanks in part to the thin, meticulously hand-applied nitrocellulose finish. The tonal complexity is jaw-dropping — whether you’re lightly fingerpicking or digging in with a pick, the guitar responds instantly with a dynamic range that is truly inspiring.

The T-series voicing lends a vintage warmth and openness, without sacrificing the precision and refinement that Collings instruments are famous for. It's as if this guitar has been naturally aged over decades, but with modern construction that ensures stability and playability. The attention to detail in every facet, from the flawless construction to the elegant herringbone trim and pre-war scalloped bracing, speaks to Collings' reputation for excellence.
