Sound Pure's Take
Rare stuff here! Walnut is no longer on the menu at Collings and, after playing this guitar, we can't help but feel a bit bummed. We can't decide if it sounds like a darker, rich maple or a more articulate, concentrated mahogany. Fingerstyle to flatpick, rhythm to lead, this guitar assertively fills whatever role you throw at it, offering comfy playability and Colling's impeccable fit and finish all the while.
Condition: Used, very good.
Small blemishes.

From Collings Guitars
Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, the Collings C10 is a leaner alternative, with the narrow waist and small upper bout resulting in a precise, focused response. Of all our acoustic models, the C10 is perhaps the easiest for electric guitarists to adapt to, thanks in part to the more rounded neck profile. The small oval neck heel is ideally suited to the optional cutaway, which allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock's lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike.
