Lage’s profound insights as a guitarist would play a key role in the creation of Collings’ Traditional Series guitars. This rare collaboration, which continued right up until Bill’s passing in July of 2017, has yielded another exceptional new guitar with an old soul. We are proud to present a highly-personal extension of the T Series: the Julian Lage OM1 signature model, or “OM1 JL.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Lage’s guitar shares the same foundational specs as the OM1 T, it is unique in some key ways. Its neck feels like no other Collings guitar, and that’s because it’s modeled after Lage’s cherished 1939 Martin 000-18. This pre-war gem is heard on the guitarist’s 2015 solo album, World’s Fair, and was his main touring acoustic for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 000-18’s neck, which was originally hand-shaped and sanded, has a distinctive taper altered by decades of wear. For Lage, this particular neck has come to feel like home. Through careful analysis and digitization of its unique dimensions, we were able to precisely recreate its worn-in, asymmetrical feel on his signature model. While we maintained the relatively narrow 1 11\/16″ nut of the 000-18’s neck, we extended the fretboard from the original short scale to our standard 25 ½” length for slightly greater presence and note definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLage has an affinity both tonally and aesthetically for vintage guitars whose finishes have mellowed after years of playing. To achieve the ideal combination of a thin application and a vintage aesthetic, we landed on a custom satin lacquer. This new offering not only feels and looks right to Lage, but he also finds it has the same inherent openness of tone that is present in the best pre-war instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his typical descriptive eloquence, Lage characterizes his signature model as a “lovingly neutral” guitar. It has a remarkably even response between registers and a tone that rewards you when you’re playing your best. In this way, Lage, whose own education is unending, sees the guitar as a teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OM1 JL incorporates a script peghead logo not seen on a new Collings instrument in decades. This is the inlay that Bill hand cut some 30 years ago when he started out in a tiny shop in Austin, Texas. We see this as a loving tribute to our late leader who, in his final project, was able to realize the perfect new steel-string for one of today’s most exacting guitarists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eTop Sitka spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003eConstruction Traditional Series Build and Voicing\u003cbr\u003eNeck Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding Tortoise with custom wood purflings\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding None\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Ebony belly-style with 2 3\/16\" spacing\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Ebony with gold MOP short dots\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius 14\" - 26\" compound\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin Ebony with MOP dot\u003cbr\u003eNut Bone, 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Bone, drop-in\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile Custom JL carve\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Profile Square\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint Mortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Fully adjustable\u003cbr\u003eFrets Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Veneer Ebony with gold MOP Collings script logo\u003cbr\u003eTuners Relic nickel Waverly with vintage oval buttons (16:1 ratio)\u003cbr\u003eBackstrip 1-style (walnut)\u003cbr\u003eRosette Custom wood rosette\u003cbr\u003eScale Length 25 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material Sitka spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Pattern Custom Traditional Series pre-war scalloped X-brace (abbreviated soundboard graft (tongue brace))\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish Custom satin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish Custom satin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Tortoise\u003cbr\u003eStrings D'Addario NB1253 (.012\"- .053\")\u003cbr\u003eCase Deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003eBody Width 15\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Length 19 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Depth 4 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length 39 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45706387914799,"sku":"36936","price":7230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0694_11b2f9ca-d4ce-4e46-bc61-848191cd581b.jpg?v=1785346158","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/collings-om1-jl-julian-lage-signature-1-3-4-nut-width-natural","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
