Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The Collings 01-G pairs the intimate comfort of a compact 14-fret body with the rich, balanced voice of premium tonewoods. Its German spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides create a beautifully clear, warm response, with plenty of definition for fingerpicking and a satisfying fullness when strummed. A pre-war scalloped X-brace pattern, crafted from Sitka spruce, enhances its natural resonance and dynamic sensitivity. The modified V mahogany neck offers a distinctive, comfortable feel, while the ebony fingerboard features mother-of-pearl short dot inlays and a compound radius for smooth movement across the neck. Elegant tortoise binding, a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish, and nickel Waverly tuners complete the refined aesthetic. Weighing just 3 lbs. 5 oz. and accompanied by a deluxe hardshell case, this 01-G is an inviting companion for players who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and expressive acoustic tone.
