| The Collings Guitar Company
of Austin Texas specializes in crafting high end instruments based on
time honored classic designs. The 000-2H pictured above arrived yesterday
and is reminiscent of the 12-fret neck 'triple O' guitars that were especially
popular in the 1920's. When you play this instrument you really
do wonder why anyone switched to the more modern 14 fret neck design.
These old 'long body' guitars have a commanding presence and almost magical
response that never fails to surprise the uninitiated.
This Collings OOO-2H features
precision Waverly tuners on a slotted headstock, Brazilian rosewood
peghead overlay, ebony fingerboard, ebony pyramid bridge,
herringbone top marquetry, flawless Honduran mahogany back &
sides and a gentle golden sunburst top finish! |
