Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents present were filled, color matched and refinished. 

You've discovered a magnificent Collings C-100 acoustic guitar, a supremely playable instrument crafted in September 2020 with captivating tonewoods: a Sitka spruce top and vibrant Honduran mahogany back and sides. Featuring a comfortable C-shape neck profile and a versatile 25 1/2" scale length, this beauty is ready for any musical challenge. The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish showcases the detailed ivoroid binding, while its scalloped Sitka spruce X-brace and premium Waverly tuners ensure an absolutely rock solid performance that sings with clarity and rich, resonant tone!

From Collings Guitars

As the bigger, bolder cousin to our classic C10 model, the C100 combines parlor-style proportions with the power and volume of a large-bodied instrument. With a nearly 16″ lower bout and 4 ¾” body depth, the C100 offers no shortage of solid low-end response, yet the narrow waist provides a balance and clarity typically found only in smaller-bodied instruments.

 

Whether you’re a flatpicker, fingerstyle player, or something in between, the C100 offers impressive versatility and just might be the ideal companion for singer-songwriters looking to fill the room with sound while still leaving space for vocals to shine through.
