(NEW) Some tone wood combinations just compliment each other so well... this 001 has a warm, inviting voice thanks to a combination of creamy Engelmann spruce and attractive figured walnut. Being a small-bodied guitar, one might worry about compression or stridency when played with gusto, but on this instrument those are nowhere to be found. On small-bodied guitars, we hear walnut as more or less a mahogany substitute in terms of general tone, but sometimes it surprises us with some extra sustain.
1 3/4" nut, 2 3/16" string spacing at the saddle, short 24.9" scale length. 1-Style appointments include b/w/b top purfling, tortoise body binding, ebony fingerboard with dot inlays. Mahogany neck with modified V profile. Tuners are nickel Waverly.
Another Collings that we just can't argue with, ready to bring the right player endless hours of joy! Includes original hard case.
