Arrow 2015 Collings OM2MRG *** SOLD ***

I purchased this guitar in 2016 from AGF's own Kh1967. Kori, like most of us, loves guitars and has had a bunch of Collings. She was reluctant to let this one go but she was moving to a 1 11/16" nut and I was the beneficiary. In her ad, her description included ...

The tone of this guitar is exquisite. Articulate and loud, this guitar more than holds its own. Crystalline trebles and more base response than I have heard in many Collings OMs. Tonally, this is just a stellar guitar. I have played many and owned many Collings and this one is the best of the bunch. It is an incredibly responsive guitar and is so satisfying to play."

I have found that to be true along with an appreciation of the sweetness and richness of tone. Certainly a top notch Collings.

I am thinning the collection a bit getting ready for a few new commissions in coming in the next 36 months. I have some great instruments and must make some really hard choices.

Condition is excellent. With a guitar this age one may expect some kind of mark but I can't find any. This thing looks like factory fresh. I would give it 9.99/10. As with all my guitars, extremely well cared for while in my posession. I was using D'Addario EJ-16 and Newtone Heritage 12s which work well on this guitar.

I am asking (SOLD pending payment) net to me. Will entertain reasonable offers but not much wiggle room in this one. Includes shipping/insurance to the lower 48.

Here is the closest audio sample I could find for this guitar.
