description Collings OM28 Acoustic Guitar Overview
The Collings OM28 exemplifies American luthiery excellence in a compact Orchestra Model format. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, with torrefied Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood, this guitar delivers exceptional tonal clarity and note separation. The 14-fret neck joins at the 15th fret, providing easy upper-fret access while maintaining the intimate sound of smaller-bodied instruments.

The primary limitation is availability and waitlists, plus premium pricing. Best for serious musicians who appreciate small-batch craftsmanship.
