Julian Lage tests a new Collings Hill Country OM1 A HC at the shop

‪@JulianLageofficial‬ stopped by the Collings shop in Austin and played a few acoustics from our upcoming Hill Country series to be released in the fall of 2024. The guitar in this video is an OM1 A HC with Adirondack spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides.

Wow, that almost sounded like an alto sax first few seconds! very airy and sweet mids.

[@elrafa782]

Yeaaaah, I’m doing same stuff when trying guitars… 😂

[@d-rosejames4553]

😂 me too bro.

[@Christ-is-King-]

Beautiful! All around!

[@brownsfan7753]

So Good!!!!

[@daddarioandco]

Amazing!

[@oakandiron_]

Lage is something else

[@VlrGuitarWorld]

So much to digest on such a short video.. amazing.

[@mandoswinger]

Wish I could afford a Collings mandolin. My Gibson A9 is good but Collings has a better tone to me.

[@JosephusDalrymple]

Pay that man in guitars!

[@rmzzz76]

Who is the master luthier at Collings Guitars since Bill Collings passed? Whoever that individual is, they have done excellent work keeping the spirit of Collings alive.

[@luizfcoimbra82]

Its Steve Nall ("Nully") - the guy sitting right next to Julian Lage in this video :)

[@markruby1147]

🤯

[@filipdinevmusic]

think it plays good

[@Tugboat_City]

"very phat"

[@lefty5string]

looks exactly like the OMAJL i have. how is it different?

[@baohuynh9529]

Neck will be different since the JL model has one unique to it. Voice is probably different as well, but I imagine these are a little closer to how they voice the JL model.

[@boco1951]

What is the finish it looks flat or satin?

[@baohuynh9529]

Satin for sure

[@crazywisdom2]

What guage strings ?

[@amarmot3635]

That Collings has light gauge strings

[@jfar3340]

Cool noodling

[@TheBassD]

Sounds like Island Blues?

[@ChristopherPanny]

it just oozes out of him

[@beranbr]

Hopefully, one day, that guitar will come forward and tell its side of the story. But as an eyewitness, I am pretty sure that it has a good case for being assulted.

[@diogohaussen5646]

I just had the realization that the fretboard of a guitar (and the nearly infinite combination of notes) is too simple for Julian lage…

[@tymstewart]

Lmao what the fuck is wrong with you. What an absurd asinine take and comment.

[@maximlamoureux4129]

Nearly infinite? :D

[@richardgullison9980]

A lot "woodier& warmer"than the Collings I owned & later sold. It was a really good guitar but I coudn`t bond with it.

[@silvermediastudio]

I can hardly wait until Julian turns 46 or so, gets bored with jazz, and starts playing country western and rockabilly.

[@ivankacat]

I doubt a single Delta Blues guy plays these. These are for attorneys.

[@garyisaacs6526]

well I tell you what Col. Cornhole, lets git some of them fancy flush attorneys workin" pro bono to get them delta blues guys paid dagnabbit !!!!!

[@stevel.6245]

⁠@@garyisaacs6526Geez, gosh darn good one by golly, Gary! 😎

[@markseelye8270]

So many guitars. So little money.
