Default NGD - Collings OM2H G
Finally took the plunge, gave up two very good guitars - including my 000-28EC, but THIS guitar might be the greatest acoustic I've ever played. Martin builds great, great guitars but this Collings is at an entirely different level.

I'm blessed and humbled to have such an incredible instrument.

I agree, that's a great guitar. I hope it brings you great enjoyment. But where are the NGD pictures?

Love my OM2HG. And (assuming it is brand new) I think you will like the changes in the tone over the next year or two.

Congrats on owning a great guitar!

Big congratulations, I know how sweet those guitars can be. I owned a Collings OM2HG-SS (short scale) for some time and loved that guitar. The bloom on every note still haunts me. Collings really does miraculous things with German Spruce, IMHO it's the best top they offer for OMs. ENJOY!

Congratulations! That is a very sweet guitar. I used to own its brother... the OM1G. Hard to beat a Collings OM... not much it can't do. Hope you enjoy it.

I've only seen one Collings in the flesh, and only listened to it. It was a great sounding guitar, Adirondack and Mahogany. It stood out from the accompanying guitar, which was an HD28. I sure would love to see and play a few of them.

Congrats!

I think Bill Collings builds the best guitars in the world. I have five in my personal stash (all dreads) and they ROCK!

Never met a Collings guitar I didn't LOVE!

Congratulations! I'll echo the call for pictures!

My D2HG might be thought of as the overweight cousin of yours. An amazing guitar.
