A dealer called City Electronics (not a Collings dealer) has a consignment OM on ebay. It was a NAMM show sunburst koa OM2H originally sold in 2001. Just an alert to anyone who may be in the bidding: they are advertising it with an adi top. I ran the serial number with Collings and it is a sitka top. I informed the seller of this, and they said they would amend the ebay listing, but haven't done so yet.

That's not merely an error about cosmetics, there's a difference in value.

Bravo! And thanks for posting that info.

It has been listed again and the description has been changed to Sitka spruce.

It's a no reserve auction and a very attractive guitar. Nice Koa and a great sunburst top.

the seller turned down 3951 and then turns around and runs, back to back, a no reserve auction. Odd? Or just stupid? Could be both. Pretty guitar, though.

That's because $3951 was too low for that guitar when it had a Adirondack top' but now that it has a Sitka top he can take less. Roll Eyes

No, the seller is a straight shooter and informed the winning bidder of the mistake. The winner may have backed out of the purchase. It's a great looking guitar, and obviously an honest seller.

I had a couple of questions for the seller and he replied instantly and accuratly. It is a beautiful guitar, with the Sitka top, what is its value?


Take it easy, but take it!
