Collings OM2A Hill Country Sunburst - Adirondack Spruce & Indian Rosewood

The Collings OM2A Hill Country Sunburst is a masterclass in acoustic guitar craftsmanship, showcasing the pinnacle of tonal richness, playability, and aesthetic refinement. A stunning member of the Hill Country Series, this OM-style instrument is built with the discerning player in mind, blending vintage-inspired character with the uncompromising precision that defines Collings' legendary approach to luthiery.

At the heart of this guitar lies an Adirondack spruce top, celebrated for its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and dynamic responsiveness. Adirondack’s power and headroom make it a dream for flatpickers and nuanced fingerstylists alike, offering a crisp, articulate voice with deep tonal complexity. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the tonal spectrum is expanded into rich overtones and a resonant low end that perfectly complements the spruce’s clarity. This wood pairing produces a sound that is both powerful and balanced, with a blooming sustain that rewards expressive playing.

Constructed with the exclusive Hill Country build and voicing, this guitar benefits from a refined, scalloped X-brace pattern made from Sitka spruce—absent the traditional tongue brace—which enhances top movement and tonal openness. The result is a responsive and harmonically rich instrument with impressive projection and warmth. Every aspect of the construction is designed to resonate with authenticity and soul.

The Honduran mahogany neck is carved in the proprietary Hill Country profile, a full but not overly chunky contour that transitions from a modified C to a soft V, topped with a beautifully rounded fingerboard edge for supreme comfort. This is a neck that feels both familiar and substantial in the hand, inviting long hours of play. The ebony fingerboard features gold mother-of-pearl short diamond and squares inlays, adding a subtle touch of elegance against the richly dark tonewood. It sits atop a 14" to 26" compound radius, enhancing playability up and down the neck.

Aesthetically, the guitar is nothing short of breathtaking. The Hill Country Sunburst finish glows beneath an ultra-thin high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe and age gracefully over time. The body is trimmed with vintage-style ivoroid binding, while the hand-poured tortoise pickguard—paired with a matching rosette ring, wedge, and heel cap—offers artisanal detail rarely seen at this level. The back features a classic 2-style zipper backstrip, a nod to pre-war styling. The ebony peghead veneer carries no logo on the front, enhancing its understated charm, while a stamped logo on the back affirms its authenticity.

Function meets beauty in components like the ebony belly-style bridge with 2 5/16" spacing, and aged bone nut and cutthrough saddle, both of which contribute to precise intonation and tonal clarity. Relic nickel Waverly tuners complete the vintage-inspired look while offering stable, smooth tuning performance. Every material—from the ebony bridge pins and end pin to the medium 18% nickel-silver frets—has been selected for durability and tonal excellence.

With a 25 1/2" scale length, 15" body width, and weighing just 3 lbs 15 oz, the OM2A Hill Country Sunburst delivers a full-bodied voice without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re performing on stage, recording in a studio, or simply playing for your own pleasure, this guitar offers an unparalleled experience in both sound and feel.

Housed in a deluxe hardshell case and strung with D’Addario EJ-16 (.012"- .053") phosphor bronze strings, the Collings OM2A Hill Country Sunburst is not just an instrument—it’s an heirloom-quality work of art built to inspire for generations.
