Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents were filled, color matched and refinished.
The Collings 001A Traditional is a masterfully crafted small-body acoustic that celebrates the warmth, responsiveness, and elegance of pre-war guitar design. Its Adirondack spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides produce a remarkably open, articulate voice with impressive dynamic range, making it equally rewarding for fingerstyle players and light strummers. Built with Collings' Traditional Series scalloped bracing and finished in ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer, it offers a lively, resonant character that responds beautifully to every nuance of your touch. Refined appointments and impeccable craftsmanship make this 001A Traditional an inspiring, investment-worthy instrument built to be enjoyed for generations.
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.
