For Sale Or Trade: Collings OM1 Western Shade Deep Body **TRADED**

[Gkiller]

Up for sale or trade (see possible trades below) is a 2010 Collings OM1 Deep Body model in the much-desired Western Shade finish. Sitka Spruce top, Honduran Mahogany back/sides, Ebony fretboard, 25.5 scale, 1.75" nut width.

Condition is a very solid 9.5/10, with only a few small surface indents (none into wood and none larger than 1/16" or so) and none will photograph as they are too small and minor. Frets are 99%, with the only wear being some very minor wear on the B string, first cowboy chord frets. However, it is very minor and will not require any fret crowning for some time to come.

TRADED!

I may be open to trades, with special consideration given to Gibson R9 or R8, Vintage Fender CS Stratocaster, Collings I35, high-end acoustic (especially Martin guitars), or ??

That's a looker!

Awe man!!! A deep body OM1. If I didn't have a custom coming soon, this would have to ship to Georgia!! And it's stunning to look at as well.

Thanks Tulver and Kendall....it is a real beauty for sure...and sounds even better than it looks. I'm acoustic-heavy right now, so I flipped a coin between this OM and another, and this one came up heads...so off to a new home soon.
Every time I pick up a Collings I become more impressed with their instruments...excellent quality and craftsmanship, and a tone that just kills.

What a beautiful guitar! Good luck with the sale. My first Collings was a custom OM1. They're monsters... nothing they can't do. And you're right... Collings craftsmanship is hard to beat.

Getting down to the wire on this one...close to making a decision on a possible trade. Let me know what you have and I will consider. Most interested in Martin guitars or other boutique acoustics.
