The Collings OM3A 42 Style is a harmonious blend of artistry, sophistication, and tonal brilliance. Featuring a baked Adirondack spruce top, prized for its exceptional clarity and responsiveness, and cocobolo back and sides that deliver a deep, resonant bass with sparkling highs, this guitar is designed to enchant the ear and captivate the soul. Pre-war scalloped X braces of Adirondack spruce lend it a vintage-inspired warmth and dynamic range, making it an extraordinary companion for both fingerstyle and flatpicking players.

Every detail of the OM3A 42 Style exudes elegance, from the grained ivoroid binding that adorns the body, fingerboard, and headstock to the abalone rosette and 3-style chevron backstrip that highlight its timeless design. The stained exotic ebony headstock veneer, embellished with a stunning torch inlay, and the gold Waverly tuners with their precise 16:1 ratio add a regal touch. The modified V neck profile and compound fingerboard radius (14"–26") ensure an effortless playing experience, while the ebony belly bridge and bone drop-in saddle deliver unparalleled tonal transfer and sustain.

Finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar’s luxurious luster enhances the natural beauty of its premium tonewoods, and a tortoise pickguard adds a dash of vintage charm. Lightweight at just 4 lbs 9 oz and featuring a 25 1/2" scale length, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 1/4" bridge spacing, the OM3A offers comfort and versatility for players of all styles. Encased in a deluxe hardshell case, this heirloom-quality instrument is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the ears, blending Collings' peerless craftsmanship with a rich, inspiring voice.
