Sound Pure's Take
As rich, expressive, and intimate as it is comfortable, this artful little fellow is sure to be your new best friend! Martin's first guitars were around this size and, with this modern day magician from Collings, it's easy to see why--every note seems to walk its own, distinct tight rope. Every little nuance suggested by right and left hands is carried across effortlessly by the sensitive, subtle German top. Sounds great as a rhythm instrument, too (just don't mistake it for a D-28)! A balladeer's best friend!
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.
