    Description

    A one off custom Collings virtually unused except for one ding!
    To say this guitar is beautiful is anb understatement. I will let the pics talk for themselves. Come with case and K&K pickup!
    For those unfamiliar, 'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.
    This Particular Custom OM3 is outfitted with a Baked Sitka Spruce top and premium Baked Maple Back & Sides. When torrefied, Sitka Spruce becomes very open and responsive. It's noticeably warmer and more-open sounding, with the woodiness, snap and depth of a well played-in guitar. A joy to play, and a fingerpicker's..or flatpicker's dream guitar. The maple(German maple to be exact) is much warmer than American Big leaf maple, it is direct, punchy, and great for cutting through a mix! This OM is the perfect recording guitar due to the punch in the treble and bass. The maple is got a great ring to it with enough warmth to keep from going to trebly.
    This custom OM also features an Ivoroid binding throughout the body, fretboard & headstock; as well as a custom 1 23/32" nut width that feels great for fingerstyle and strumming!

    MEGAWARE SKEGGUARD
    Inexpensive Solution To a Broken Skeg
    The SkegGuard® from Megaware KeelGuard® provides the best of two worlds. It will protect and prevent damage to your motor’s skeg and can also be used to repair and replace an already broken skeg.
    Save Hundreds of Dollars on Skeg Repairs and Replacement
    The Megaware SkegGuard is constructed of high quality marine grade 316 stainless steel that incorporates an extra reinforced wear tab across the bottom where the skeg is most vulnerable. This 3mm thickened lower plate will withstand damage or abrasion from hidden rocks and debris or accidental ramp dragging. The Megaware SkegGuard conforms to your lower unit to insure there is no discernible drag or compromise in performance. A drain hole keeps water from collecting and remaining stagnant.
    Secured with self-locking hardware, the Megaware SkegGuard can be installed with common tools in less than 10 minutes. It will provide years of service and save hundreds of dollars in potential repairs.
    If replacing an already broken skeg, the Megaware SkegGuard can be installed on a lower unit with as little as 2 inches of skeg remaining. It will be stronger and much more affordable than welding and replacing a lower skeg.

    Step 1
    Using a mallet (leather, rubber or wooden), place the Megaware SkegGuard® on the skeg and gently tap on it to get it started. Once in place, drive it on with the mallet until fully seated.
    Step 2
    Using the two pre-drilled mounting holes in the Megaware SkegGuard® as pilot holes, drill the skeg using a ¼” drill bit, and install the stainless steel hardware using the hex key tools supplied with the product. (Two sets of hardware with varying lengths provide secure fitment to varying skeg thickness.) The hardware includes a thread locker sealant to prevent loosening of the bolts once installed.
