Sound Pure's Take
FINALLY! Us fingerpickers have been waiting for this day! We love, love the Waterloos and love, love the T series OMs that Collings has bestowed on us the past few years but we've always longed to see the magic that is the T series "package" of vintage specs bestowed on a 00 body. And here it is! This dry, lightning quick, and muscular little guitar puts plenty of old 00-18s to shame. And while fingerpickers are obviously particularly susceptible to this kind of temptation, flatpickers will likewise find this to be a tight, focused, balanced tool for use in all manner of rhythm and lead roles. It's early in the year but this is already vying for top 10 guitars of 2020--don't miss it!
From Collings Guitars
Our new 00 14-Fret series finds the sweet spot between small and mid-sized instruments while bringing to the table a distinctive voice and character all its own. This Traditional Series variation represents our vintage-inspired approach to voicing and construction, which brings out a strong fundamental tonality and dry articulation with warmer high-end response. The ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer and animal protein glue provide added nuance and responsiveness, making for an exceptionally dynamic and versatile instrument that shines in a variety of playing styles.
