Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
The Collings 000 is a great alternative to the very similarly shaped OM. With a slightly longer body and 12-fret access, combined with the short scale length, you get plenty of warmth and even tonal balance from this outstanding Collings 0002H model as well as smooth and comfortable playability thanks to the shorter scale.
The Rosewood on the back has a unique hue of deep reds mixed in with the chocolately brown common to Rosewood. All Collings can be considered one-of-a-kind due to unique grain both front and back.
SP Luthier Notes: Bridge reglue, fingerboard repair, fret dress and setup
From Collings Guitars
The 12-fret 000 has the same general appearance as the Collings 00, but in a larger size with 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 string-band purists or any guitarist who wants a maximum of power from an instrument of comfortable size with an elegant, old-time appearance. Along with the usual options in woods, binding, and inlay , it is also available with a graceful cutaway.
