Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A small number of frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. The pickguard was buffed. No further work was needed.

Dive into the rich, resonant world of the Collings 01-T, a cherished investment and supremely articulate small-body guitar. Featuring a vibrant Sitka spruce top married to warm Honduran mahogany, this instrument embodies the celebrated Traditional Series voicing, delivering a perfectly balanced and powerfully open sound. The comfortable Honduran mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with a custom compound radius ensure unparalleled playability. Exquisite tortoise binding with custom wood purflings and meticulous pre-war scalloped X-bracing ensure a rock-solid construction and tone that is simply exceptional. This unique specimen is built with care and designed to inspire!

 

From Collings Guitars

Our Traditional Series or “T” guitars represent an exciting vintage-inspired variation on the distinctive Collings sound, designed and crafted to showcase the most desirable characteristics of coveted pre-war instruments. Bracing and tonewoods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection.
