Location: Phoenix AZ | Here's a beautiful OM2h.
I own this exact same guitar and I can tell you these are awesome. This is quite a bit less than I paid, by the way.
This would be a really good one to step up to ...
COLLINGS OM2 SUNBURST
I certainly don't post every Collings I see for sale and I personally dislike seeing ebay links here, but this one is really special. If I didn't have this exact one already, it would be AZ bound in a heartbeat. This is GOOD ..... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I convinced the guy who bought my 99 Collector's to check out Collings. Maybe if I talk him into this one, I'll finally get to try one.
He has one of the first PRS guitars for sale, but had a buyer coming over to look at it last night. |

| In one of life's funny little coincidences I was searching ebay for a mechanical camera for my daughter who is about to start a photography course at school, and after I put OM2 in the search box this very guitar popped up on UK ebay in amongst all the Olympus cameras.
Weird. |

| Am I allowed to say I don't like Colling's sunbursts?
For that money I wouldn't buy a Collings. Sorry. |

| Don't like ANY bursts. Probably because my first guitar was a burstoid Stella. That could also explain why I don't like tailpieces, flat fingerboards, open tuners or pickguards. I hated that thing. |

Pretty much about same price. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | No, the one I was waiting on was a custom OM short scale cutaway sunburst which is why I have the C10 available for sale (+ the fact I have 2 other C10s).
The burst on the C10 might actually be more appealing to most since it is a bit more traditional. |

I do and agree with Dave. My CJ varnish alomst looks purplish in the light. |

| Beautiful guitars, no doubt. Next year I'll probably jump into the deep end. I'm done with O's and A's, and the agreement with SWMBO over the 1538 purchase was that I buy no more guitars in '09. But that leaves next year wide open ;) |
