Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A tremendous little firecracker of a 00 that sounds, looks, and feels like an old soul in a new suit--punchy, woody, country blues tone meets immaculate fit and finish with stylistic supremacy to spare. Whether you're looking to keep old roots alive or cultivate new growth in your playing, this best bud of a guitar is ready for work!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
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.
