Sound Pure's Take

Is it the most comfortable 12 string or the biggest, richest single 0 you've ever played?  Both!  This little 03 12-String is just downright fun to play.  But there's no whimsy to this little guy!  Bearing a strong similarity to smallbody 12 strings floating around at the beginning of the 20th century (Lonnie Johnson played one for a while), this Collings original is no less a worldclass instrument than the rest of their stunning acoustic line.  Properly mic'ed or amplified, this guitar's big-but-focused voice will be heard loud and clear in a studio mix or live band.  Couch players take heed: there is no finer tool to cut through the afternoon doldrums with!

From Collings Guitars

Combining the timeless appearance and enduringly popular tone of the "0" body style with a 12-string configuration has resulted in this unique new model. With a sound that belies its small size, the 0 12-String has exceptional note separation with a quick attack and beautiful harmonic complexity. The smaller body dimension and short 24 7/8" scale also imparts a percussive quality to the note attack that makes this an exceptional finger style and recording guitar. With a sound and feel all its own, the 0 12-string brings something new to this classic design.
