The Collings 002H in Old Growth Sitka Spruce and Figured Walnut is a wonderfully graceful expression of the small body acoustic guitar, built with the refinement, balance, and quiet authority that have made Collings such a revered name among serious players. It is compact without feeling small, elegant without feeling delicate, and alive with the kind of responsiveness that makes every note feel personal.

The 00 body has long been loved for its intimacy and focus. It sits close to the player, responds quickly to a light touch, and rewards nuance in a way that feels almost conversational. With its 24 7/8 inch scale length, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and easy, balanced body dimensions, this guitar has a relaxed feel that invites long playing sessions, fingerstyle detail, lyrical flatpicking, and vocal accompaniment alike. At just 4 pounds, it feels wonderfully immediate in the hands.

The Old Growth Sitka Spruce top gives this guitar a voice rooted in clarity, maturity, and warmth. There is something special about older spruce, a sense of depth and composure that comes through not as volume alone, but as richness, stability, and color. Paired with Figured Walnut back and sides, the result is a tone that is articulate, woody, and beautifully balanced. Walnut brings a dry sweetness and quick response, sitting somewhere between the earthy directness of mahogany and the shimmer of rosewood, with a lovely visual character all its own.

Inside, Adirondack Spruce pre war scalloped X bracing gives the guitar strength, openness, and dynamic range. The notes have room to bloom, but never lose their center. There is warmth in the fundamental, sparkle in the upper register, and a clean separation that allows chords to remain clear even when the harmony gets complex. It is the kind of voice that feels equally suited to delicate writing, old folk songs, bluesy runs, and quiet late night playing.

The appointments are classic and beautifully chosen. Ivoroid body binding with herringbone purfling frames the instrument with vintage elegance, while the Ivoroid, Tortoise, and Ivoroid rosette with black and white purflings gives the top a tasteful, old soul charm. The 2 style zipper backstrip adds a traditional accent to the Figured Walnut back, and the tortoise pickguard completes the look with understated warmth. The stained Exotic Ebony peghead veneer carries the mother of pearl Collings logo, offering just the right touch of refinement.

The Ebony fingerboard features mother of pearl short diamond and squares inlays, a timeless detail that pairs beautifully with the ebony pyramid style bridge and ebony bridge pins with mother of pearl dots. The Honduran Mahogany neck is shaped to Collings’ Modified V profile, offering a confident, comfortable feel, while the 14 inch to 26 inch compound fingerboard radius allows the guitar to feel smooth and natural across the neck. A tapered slotted square peghead with volute, fully adjustable truss rod, mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint, medium 18 percent nickel silver frets, bone drop in saddle, and nickel Waverly tuners all speak to the precision and thoughtful execution Collings is known for.

Finished in high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer on both the body and neck, this Collings 002H has the glow, feel, and resonance of a finely built acoustic instrument made to be played for a lifetime. Strung with D’Addario EJ 16 strings and housed in a deluxe hardshell case, it is a beautifully voiced, visually elegant, and deeply inspiring 00 that brings together Old Growth Sitka, Figured Walnut, and Collings craftsmanship in a truly memorable way.
