FS: Collings OM2h ss vn £2750

Hey all,

Needs must and I've decided I'm going down to two guitars so this beautiful Collings needs to be moved on... No Trades please.

It’s an OM2h ss vn - so it’s a short scale (24.9”) with the ‘vintage now’ neck which means it has a nut width of 1 3/4” and a bridge spacing of 2 5/16” and the neck shape is Collings modified V shape.

It’s a sitka top with Indian rosewood back and sides and it has a K&K Pure Mini pickup installed.

I bought it from Coda Music in 2016 but I think it’s a 2015 serial number - it has Bill Collings’ signature on the label.

I’d say it was 7.5/10 in terms of condition (and that’s my ex-retail opinion, not your average eBayer rating!) - I’ve played it a lot and gigged it some too so there’s some light surface scratches and one area on the lower bout with a bit more of a swirly scratch (I’ve tried to show it in the photos but it’s difficult - I think it would buff out if you took it to a good luthier). 

There are some small dings on the headstock and some marks around the tuners from where I’ve used a string winder during string changes, but, from three feet away, you’d think it was nearly new.

It’s a really nice sounding guitar that’s opened up a fair amount in the years I’ve had it - it obviously had that Collings upper-mid and treble clarity, but the bass is good too (better than my Collings OM2hT which is still breaking in!).

This guitar would be well over £4000 (just a regular OM2h is nearly £4,500 now!) but I’m after £2750 for it. It has a Collings TKL hardcase as well obviously. 

I'm in Exeter so you can come here or I can meet you halfway - PM me and we'll see what we can arrange...

    Had one of these and regret selling it. I've not found another that sounds anywhere near as good. GLWTS
