Pickup available from Folkway Music
Usually ready in 24 hours
Here’s a lightly used Collings Julian Lage OM1A JL, complete with Adirondack red spruce top and knock-out Collings tone. The guitar is just two years old but has already opened up into an exquisite mahogany OM, with a dry, open, complex, powerful, and balanced voice. It’s a tremendously good sounding guitar by our measure.
Completely original and unmodified but for the addition of a strap button in the correct Collings-approved location on the heel, this guitar presents beautifully. The low-sheen thin lacquer finish has glossed up somewhat on the top’s lower bass bout where it contacts the player’s arm, and is similarly glossy on the back of the neck. There is very little in the way of wear otherwise - a couple of tiny dings on the top/back edge of the headstock from a clip-on tuner, a few hair-size scratches on the top and pickguard, some impressions on the treble side of the guitar most likely from a button on the pocket of pair of shorts. Nothing major, but enough to call this guitar “Not Mint”.
Designed in collaboration with virtuoso guitarist Julian Lage, the Collings OM1A JL pairs an Adirondack spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides and features custom-voiced bracing tailored to his dynamic playing style. Built for effortless playability and vintage-inspired warmth, this signature OM is known for its excellent clarity and responsiveness, nuance, and subtlety.
The OM1A JL has a unique neck carve among Collings guitars and is a faithful recreation of the neck on Lage’s 1939 000-18. Expect a subtly asymmetrical rounded carve with a 1-11/16” nut and a 1st fret thickness of .822”. The scale is 25.5”, and the bridge pin spacing is 2-3/16”.
The guitar is beautifully set up and plays perfectly on frets that show the lightest of playwear.
With original hardshell case.
