The C-00 is a refined, Collings take on the budget builds of the 1930s that have gone on to be the guitar of choice for blues, old-time or anyone looking for a responsive, punchy, mid-range focused guitar. In true Collings fashion they have taken the best parts of a vintage guitar, and delivered that vintage vibe with the precision, attention to detail and world-class build quality that we've loved about their guitars for decades. A vintage sound, without all the hassles of vintage guitar upkeep, this is truly a newly made, golden-era guitar.
We've been excited for this guitar to arrive since the prototypes and wow was it worth the wait. Featuring a vintage inspired small-circle sunburst finish with a firestripe pickguard, the aesthetics and appointments of this guitar harken to an early '30s vibe.
Here with an Adirondack spruce top, paired with a Honduran mahogany back and sides and the addition of a rosewood bridge/fingerboard, this mix of tonewoods provides the perfect platform for a dynamic, mid-range focused and responsive guitar that really does have the grit and growl of the '30s classics. Rosewood, being softer than ebony which is typically found on Collings C-models, adds to the tonal character of the guitar, and really does make a difference in the bloom of each note.
The lightly built, balanced, custom bracing delivers a resonant and lively guitar, you can feel the top and back moving and responding to both fingerstyle and flatpicking, with the headroom to handle any sort of attack. The custom V shape profile feels softened and incredibly comfortable when compared to the vintage-inspiration, while still providing the mass and balance that adds to the desired dry, fundamental tone.
A guitar with everything working for it, this is a wonderful new addition to the Collings lineup and a guitar we absolutely can't put down. Includes a free Mass Street setup to your specs, and the original
