This new Collings 002H Koa acoustic, serial# 22308, is remarkable - an all Koa 00 12 fret guitar with a sound that projects with real clarity. It plays as smoothly as can be, and its 24 7/8" scale body sounds as good as it looks. Collings brings forth all the very best aspects of the remarkable Hawaiian grown Koa - excellent tone, resonance, warmth and note definition. The slightly shorter scale (24 7/8") and wider nutwidth (1 13/16") make it a very comfortable player - you won't want to put this one down. As usual, Collings' attention to detail is perfect, including subtle fingerboard and peghead purfling, adding another layer of visual depth. To further complement that, there's the Herringbone trim with matching 2-style marquetry, tortoiseshell-style celluloid pickguard, Ebony fingerboard and pyramid-style bridge - and of course the gorgeous peghead Torch inlay.
Really, this guitar is a beautiful specimen of craftsmanship, design and tone. It has a timeless appearance, and balanced and precise tone capable of accommodating a range of playing styles. This Collings 002H Koa acoustic is an outstanding combination of old-time looks with modern construction and impeccable sound. Includes a Collings hardshell case.
