Here’s a sweet 2015 Collings 12-fret 002H with some nice custom upgrades, including a headstock torch and custom “mom” fingerboard inlays — named for the favorite inlays of the late Bill Collings’ mother. Excellent condition, with just some light pick marks and a few small dents you have to look at under the right lighting to notice. Fantastic guitar. Save yourself a couple grand.
With Collings’ typical terrific projection and great volume, this guitar will amaze you with its voice. 12 frets, open headstock, beautiful build, short scale, pre-war scalloped bracing, a modified V neck, ebony fretboard and bridge, and herringbone binding. Impossible to put down. With original hardshell case.
Collings says: “We offer the 00 in its original 12-fret configuration , a guitar shape that was first designed around the time of the Civil War. Its dimensions are similar to a typical classical guitar, with a slotted headstock and small pyramid bridge. The comfortable size and timeless appearance of the Collings 00 is matched by the ease of playing a wide neck and shorter string scale affords. The tone is typically balanced and precise, and we’ve seen it adopted for a wide range of playing styles from simple vocal accompaniment to ragtime solos. When you want the durability of a modern guitar but one that appears rooted in an earlier, simpler time, the 00 is a versatile choice.”
