Collings OM1A Hill Country | The Music Emporium

The new "Hill Country" series from Collings Guitars picks up where their "Traditional" series began ~ pushing the Collings voice & tone farther towards the looser, more open rumble associated with the Grail-level pre-war flattops. Each Hill Country guitar features a new, custom voicing and build structure that aims for the driest, woodiest, most open version of the Collings sound. What will you experience when you pick up a Hill Country model for the first time? You'll feel a lighter-weight guitar. You'll hear an instrument with increased roundness in the midrange and trebles. And you'll feel low-end responsiveness like you've never felt from a Collings before.

This OM1A Hill Country features the new, full-thickness HC neck carve. We love the blank peghead veneer, and the "Collings" logo stamped on the back of the headstock in tribute to the golden-era guitars which inspire the Hill Country line. This is a Mahogany OM that will satisfy even the most discerning flatpicker with its power, openness, and perfectly crisp voice. We were stunned when we listened back to the sound of this guitar after filming this video!

**Please note: this is an early Hill Country prototype, which features a standard Collings pickguard & rosette. The internal label reads "Hill Country."
