Thank you for your review and beautiful playing Tim! I was fortunate to come across a used but mint condition Collings OM1JL in 2019. I have played many amazing dreadnoughts , but never an OM. It took me about a week to get use to the small body, lightweight design, and sensitive response. Fast forward 2 years and I can't seem to keep my hands off this guitar. I think about it when I'm at work or on vacation playing another guitar. I guess this is what love feels like, haha.

When I heard Julian's "Woodside Waltz", I couldn't believe how incredible his guitar sounded. Hearing your sunburst of the same model is no exception, so the "gushing" is well-earned on Collings' part. And heck..... you even saved $10K by buying a new Collings instead of an actual 1939 Martin 000-18! Really an amazing guitar and, as always, beautiful playing Tim. Thanks man! :)

Collings make exceptional guitars. I recently bought a D2H AT which is their dreadnought. I love the additional volume, bottom end and slightly enhanced midrange that this guitar has. The Adirondack top has tremendous dynamic range and headroom. I have played smaller acoustic guitars like OM's and 000-28's in the past. I. recently put some Santa Cruz Parabolic strings on this instrument and they are superb. The gauge is 12.5 through 055. I play fingerstyle and this set is quite manageable and sound awesome!

It's not just the Collings OM's that are really sweet. I stopped by a store one Saturday afternoon and noodled around on a CJ. I ended up leaving with it! I'd never played a flat top acoustic that felt so at home in my hands and sounded so good when played fingerstyle. Collings really has the recipe right.

Thank you so much for sharing it, dear Tim. You are one of the most sincere and simple people on the planet and you play phenomenal. If someone like Julian chooses a guitar, there definitely has to be a good reason for it. I have never tasted a Colling. I think it's the closest guitar to a piano. It is a pity that they don't have a semi-electric model, since the price of the Collings is not within everyone's reach.

Thanks so much for this! Great playing and a fascinating overview. But even better: I have a gorgeous Waterloo Stella Deluxe that I love. But it has been a little 'tough' to play. I took your idea and tuned it down to Eb and wow! I get a slightly deeper tone and easier to play! So thank you Tim!

Very articulate, and projects well when you play this OMJL. Almost archtop territory. 🎧

I have a OM1Gss (short scale) that has been mostly just hanging on my wall since my daughter was born. I now will replace strings and dust her off. Collings make some wonderful guitars.

Beautiful playing and tone Tim, the more it goes the more I prefer flattops to solid archtops for strictly acoustic playing, if only because of the range of choices, but also the tone is just as good if not better to my ears... I wonder what others think.

Great review. Looking at a good acoustic guitar. Since I lost my hearing and got a cochlear implant my electric ones are a challenge except my Epiphone Pre Joe Pass Emperor. Now if the budget could allow it. Your playing make anything sound excellent. Thank you Tim.

Would liked to have heard the rest of Darn That Dream. I have a very similar guitar, but probably not as dear as this one, a Simon & Patrick Woodland Pro Folk. Something about that body shape makes it a slept on jazzy masterpiece. Love the Satin finish.

Darn that Dream reminded me of listening to the Jim Hall Trio live record a ton. I transcribed Angel Eyes off of that in school.

Great to listen to a serious jazz player like you with an acoustic guitar, and even better playing a great Collings! How about putting a 0.13 E string to get a thicker sound?

I have a lighter touch and figured the Sitka would be a better choice for my right hand approach.

I can't handle anything narrower on an acoustic - fat finger pads.
