This mid-sized Collings delivers on a flat top sweet spot that has made it a favorite around the shop. Here with the classic 00-body and 14-fret neck, this traditional build is warm and articulate, with a quick responsiveness that keeps developing as the guitar opens up. Fantastic for fingerstyle, strumming and even flatpicking in a quieter setting, there's a surprising amount of heft to the low-end for being a 00 sized guitar.
The Traditional Series represents a Collings interpretation on traditional appointments and vintage-inspired tone. This series is highlighted by tone woods and bracing which are adjusted, weighed and voiced to produce particularly warm, rounded highs while maintaining a full, rich low end. The extra thin Nitrocellulose lacquer finish makes for a lively, expressive top that has the feel of an old vintage guitar.
Includes a Collings case along with a free Mass Street setup from our team of luthiers.
