Sound Pure's Take
THIS is the smallbody guitar we all want. Sits in the lap like a happy cat but makes many guitars twice its size sound like wimps by comparison. About as perfect a balance as you can strike from bass to treble with a woody, warm, organic tone that you want from a guitar that's already seen a few years of playtime. Not that you could tell from looking at it! Very, very clean cosmetically. The previous owner took care of this little beast, that's for sure--your turn!

From Collings Guitars
With the exception of the Baby, the 0 is our smallest guitar and is offered with the same shorter scale found on the 12-fret 00. Although measuring only 13.5 inches in width (smaller than a typical classical guitar), the Collings 0 has tone and volume that belies its first impression as being less than full-sized. It can double as a travel guitar or a small OM, performing both roles equally well. The same neck and woods options offered with larger Collings models are available on the 0 as well, giving players an almost infinite range of tonal possibilities.
