2012 Collings 01 Flat Top Acoustic Guitar 0-18 Spruce Top Mahogany Back & Sides

2012 Collings 01 Flat Top Acoustic Guitar 0-18 Spruce Top Mahogany Back & Sides!

Here is a very nice 2012 Collings 01 from the Bill Collings era, a great small-body guitar that really captures the spirit of a pre-war 0-18 with Collings’ signature precision and build quality.

This one is rock solid and incredibly reliable. It plays very well and sounds strong, especially for a guitar of this size. Clear, focused, and responsive — exactly what you’d expect from a good Collings.

It features a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Waverly tuners. It’s also equipped with a pickup and endpin jack, making it ready to go for stage or studio use right away.

Condition is very good plus, with only a few very light indentations in a few spots. You really have to look to find them. The label is signed by Bill Collings, which is a nice touch from this era.
