Collings

Pete Huttlinger is recognized around the world as one of the greatest fingerstyle guitar players of our time. His amazing ability to play melody, harmony, rhythm and everything in between has long captivated fans and fellow musicians alike. Pete bought his first Collings in March of 1997. Over the years, he has continually supported and promoted Collings instruments and, in the process, has become a great friend to Collings Guitars.

Unfortunately, Pete’s life has recently been turned upside down while he deals with a serious medical condition. For decades, his beautiful playing and warm spirit have uplifted many hearts. Now, we would like to give something back. In his honor, Collings Guitars is proud to introduce the Limited Edition “Pete Huttlinger Signature OM1″ model. A limited number of 50 will be built in celebration of Pete’s recent 50th birthday. Each of these special guitars will have a custom numbered label bearing Pete’s signature. To help Pete and his wife Erin with their astronomical medical costs, $1,000 will be donated for each guitar sold ($500 from Collings and $500 from the participating dealer). Any additional donations can be made to the Pete Huttlinger medical fund through his website at www.petehuttlinger.com
