The Collings 0001 Mh is a focused, old world 12 fret design built entirely from Honduran mahogany and voiced with Collings’ trademark precision. This is a guitar for players who value nuance, responsiveness, and balance over sheer volume. It is light in the hands at just 3 pounds 15 ounces, and it feels alive the moment you strike a note.

The all mahogany construction, including a Honduran mahogany top, back, sides, and neck, delivers a dry, woody fundamental with quick attack and strong midrange presence. Mahogany tops have a way of smoothing out the edges while keeping the voice immediate and intimate. Paired with Sitka spruce pre war scalloped bracing, the result is a guitar that opens up easily, with surprising headroom and clarity for fingerstyle, light strumming, and vocal accompaniment.

The 12 fret 000 body shifts the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, enhancing warmth and depth. With a 24 7/8 inch short scale, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and 2 3/16 inch bridge spacing, it offers a relaxed feel under the left hand and generous room for the right. The modified V neck profile gives you a subtle vintage carve without feeling bulky, and the compound 14 to 26 inch fingerboard radius keeps it comfortable all the way up the neck.

Aesthetically, this 0001 Mh keeps things refined and traditional. Tortoise body binding, an abalone rosette, and black and white wood purfling with a 1 style walnut backstrip nod to pre war design language. The slotted headstock with volute and 15 degree angle reinforces the classic look, while the ebony peghead overlay with inlaid Collings logo adds a touch of understated elegance. Mother of pearl dot inlays, an ebony fingerboard, and a pyramid style ebony bridge complete the vintage recipe.

Modern precision is still very much present. The mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint ensures stability and efficient energy transfer. Medium 18 percent nickel silver frets, a fully adjustable truss rod, and nickel Waverly slot head tuners with a 16 to 1 ratio provide smooth playability and reliable tuning. Ebony bridge pins and end pin, a tortoise style pickguard, and a high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish round out the build.

Recommended with D’Addario EJ 16 strings, this 0001 Mh delivers a focused, articulate voice that excels in intimate settings, recording environments, and anywhere touch sensitivity matters. It ships in a hard case and represents everything Collings does best: traditional design executed at the highest level.
