About this listing
The Collings 001 is a masterfully crafted small-body acoustic guitar that delivers exceptional balance, clarity, and responsiveness—hallmarks of Collings’ renowned build quality. Designed for discerning players who value nuance and articulation, this instrument pairs a Sitka spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides, producing a voice that is warm, focused, and remarkably dynamic. Whether fingerpicked or lightly strummed, the 001 responds with precision and musicality.
Its compact body is complemented by a short 24 7/8" scale length, offering a comfortable, slinky feel under the fingers while maintaining excellent projection. The modified V Honduran mahogany neck provides a substantial yet ergonomic grip, paired with an ebony fingerboard featuring tasteful mother-of-pearl short dot inlays and a compound radius for effortless playability across the neck.
Aesthetically, the guitar is understated yet refined. Tortoise body binding with black/white purfling, a matching tortoise pickguard, and a classic b/w purfling rosette lend a timeless, vintage-inspired look. The slotted square peghead with volute, topped with an ebony veneer and Collings logo in pearl, adds an extra touch of elegance.
Under the hood, pre-war scalloped X-bracing crafted from Sitka spruce enhances resonance and responsiveness, while the ebony pyramid-style bridge and bone nut and saddle ensure optimal tone transfer and sustain. Premium components like nickel Waverly tuners, ebony bridge pins with MOP dots, and a fully adjustable truss rod round out the build.
Finished in high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer on the body and high gloss polyester on the neck, the Collings 001 is as durable as it is beautiful. Weighing just 3 lbs 14 oz, it’s lightweight and incredibly comfortable for extended playing sessions.
Strung with D’Addario EJ-16 strings and housed in a deluxe hardshell case, this instrument is ready for studio work, stage performance, or intimate playing at home. The Collings 001 is a refined, heirloom-quality guitar that rewards a sensitive touch with rich, expressive tone.
