Condition: Used, Very Good-Great (two top cracks repaired by outside luthier, one side crack repaired by in-house master luthier, Rob Sharer)

Don't call this Baby little!  This top of the line model from the series is punchy, bright, and endlessly lively.  The guitar has worn in wonderfully, gracing the overall voice of the instrument with a warmth and sweetness it did not yet possess when brand new.  This is the kind of musical companion that keeps you on the couch all day enjoying old favorites and working on new shades of expression.

Our smallest model is a rarity among fractional size guitars: most listeners never guess that it's not a full-size instrument unless they see it being played. While lacking the deep bass of larger guitars the tone is remarkably balanced, with adequate volume for most applications. The Collings Baby is approximately a 3/4 size version of our OM, 12 1/2 inches wide in the lower bout with a 24 1/8 inch scale, and the headstock and bridge are scaled to match. Sometimes the Baby is used as a travel guitar, but it often sees duty as a songwriter's tool, the guitar that's ready at a moment's notice and can be played while seated in any position. The same wide range of woods and options offered on other Collings models are available on the Baby as well, but rosewood versions with a spruce top are by far the most popular.
