  This OM2H features a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Torrefied Adirondack Spruce braces, and a 1 3/4" nut width.
  'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings; yet flatpickers also find it appealing. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.

"When we string up an OM it's hard to distinguish from the Traditional Dreadnought"
-Goodall Guitars

The Orchestra Model is a greatly favored shape amongst Goodall's Traditional lineup. It features a smaller, more comfortable to hold body size than the popular dreadnought body shape. Its tone is extremely powerful in the bass and midrange, with an emphasis on a broad warmth without lacking treble. All of Goodall's Traditional series models features a custom, partially scalloped bracing pattern which produces a bit more 'boominess' in the bass and midrange. The peghead and bridge have been redesigned for a more conservative visual appeal, with open gear Waverly tuning machines contributing to its charm. It is attractively arrayed with a herringbone marquetry rosette and top purfling, and a chevron marquetry backstrip. It has been designed especially with the flatpicker and the bluegrass player in mind.

A superb OM from Preston Thompson. Featuring a fantastic Red Spruce (Adirondack) top chosen for tap tone and stiffness, East Indian Rosewood back and sides, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finish and time-tested design features such as dovetail neck joint. Upgraded with a beautiful Regency Torch headstock inlay.

This E10D features an Adirondack Spruce top and Mahogany Back & Sides. The iconic shape of the Dreadnought is synonymous with acoustic guitars in general. Big and bold, these cannons are perfect for ensemble settings where the guitar competes for sonic space with other instruments or accompanying strong singers. The Dreadnought is the classic flat-picking bluegrass instrument.

Featuring an Adirondack Spruce top, and Rosewood Back & Sides. From a sunny day on the back porch to a big night on stage, the smaller upper bout paired with the larger lower bout and thinner soundbox makes the OO an absolute joy to play.

Featuring Eastman's unique hand-rubbed Antique Varnish finish. From a sunny day on the back porch to a big night on stage, the smaller upper bout paired with the larger lower bout and thinner soundbox makes the OO an absolute joy to play.

Another spectacular instrument from Dana Bourgeois. This custom ordered Bourgeois was built in 2018. This guitar sounds like a cannon, and has opened up beautifully. The tone of this Honduran Rosewood is extremely similar to Brazilian Rosewood. Nice, strong bass fundamental, great projection, extremely loud and punchy. It's an "all-day-every-day" dreadnought acoustic. You'll never want to put it down. Thanks to the magic of the Adirondack spruce top you get huge low end, crisp and bright high end with lots of punch, and tone and volume that does not break down. No matter how hard you strike this instrument, it just gets louder and never gives out. This guitar has overtones for days with plenty of cut and articulation for serious flatpicking. An LR Baggs Anthem has been installed (a $329 value) and works perfectly. It is without a doubt a guitar of a lifetime!

Featuring a 24-7/8" Short Scale, Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Adirondack Braces, and 1-3/4" Nut Width.

'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.

Featuring a solid Thermo-cured Adirondack Spruce top, and solid Mahohany back and sides. The Orchestra name was given to this model in 1929 in an attempt to entice guitarists in dance orchestras to pick one up and take it to a gig. In more recent years, it has become a go-to instrument for finger pickers, due to its sensitive dynamic profile and subtle tonal properties. It provides a more carefully sculpted sound than a big bodied acoustic.
