Beyond its stunning appearance - a big thumbs up to the vintage sunburst and herringbone binding - this beauty has a wonderfully balanced, rich, round, and powerful tone. The 12-fret design and the longer body provide an exceedingly comfortable ergonomic feel. The 1 3/4" nut marries perfectly to its elegant neck carve. The Adirondack top speaks volumes and hints at the sonic glory to come.

The 12-fret 000 has the same general appearance as the Collings 00 but in a larger size with a longer string scale. Although it's the same width and depth as the OM, the longer body typically produces more bass and overall volume. This makes the Collings 000 ideal for any guitarist who wants maximum power from an instrument of comfortable size with an elegant, old-time appearance.

CRAIG'S POV

Just when I thought I'd seen all Collings has to offer, another fantastic guitar arrives. I just can't seem to put it down. Once again, the folks at Collings have impressed me with their masterful skill, craftsmanship, and design by building a guitar that deserves to be in the hands of any acoustic guitarist. This OOO is one thrilling guitar!

I love this guitar and would not hesitate for a moment to have it alongside any of my bespoke individual luthier-built acoustics.

If you'd like to find out more about this item, just call or e-mail me. It would be my pleasure to talk to you about it.

ABOUT COLLINGS GUITARS
Bill Collings moved from Ohio to Texas in the mid 1970’s. Spurred by a lack of interest in medical school, this move enabled him to combine lifelong interests in both guitars and tools into the challenge of stringed instrument building and repair. After a couple of years in Houston, several guitars and a few banjos later, he headed west to southern California. Making it only as far as Austin, where he shared shops with fellow luthiers Tom Ellis and Mike Stevens. From there, he set up his own small shop in a wooden "one car" garage. His reputation for outstanding quality and meticulous attention to detail quickly spread. In 1989, he rented a 1000 square foot space and hired two helpers. Fast forward to present day where Collings craftsmanship is respected by professional and amateur musicians alike…anyone on the quest for quality. Some of these include artists; Keith Richards, Lyle Lovett, Pete Townshend, Emmylou Harris, Andy Summers, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Joni Mitchell, Don Felder, John Sebastian, Lou Reed, John Fogerty, Tim O'Brien, Pete Huttlinger, Kenny Smith, Brian May, Joan Baez, John Prine, Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap, and Steven Spielberg to name a few. You owe it to yourself to try one.
