Notes: Austin, Texas based Collings guitars don't need much bragging. They're just some of the best flat tops on the planet. The 0002H model is the popular 12 fret body size, reminiscent of the classic Martin 000 of the pre-Depression era, with a graceful cutaway to facilitate those hot licks up high, and a generous 1 13/16" nut for finger or pick style play. This example contains handsome Indian Rosewood on back and sides, an X-braced bookmatched solid Sitka spruce top, solid ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge, and herringbone binding throughout.
The voice is big as the Hill Country itself, with fine open bass and brilliant clear highs. This example is in virtually unplayed condition, and is equipped with smooth, spendy Waverly 16X1 tuners. An exceptionally versatile instrument from one of America's premier builders.
Setup: This instrument is strung with medium gauge bronze strings (.012-.054). The guitar will accommodate lighter strings, according to preference.
Case: Original hardshell case with plush lining.
