Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Some of the frets were polished and made to be level with the other frets. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area. A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. No further work was needed.
Experience the resonant charm of this classic 1993 Collings C100, a captivating acoustic guitar that’s more than just an instrument—it’s an investment in a legacy of superb sound. Crafted with a Sitka Spruce top and stunning Flamed Maple back and sides, this guitar delivers a bold, balanced tone with brilliant clarity and projection. The Ebony fingerboard and bridge, complemented by beautiful Ivoroid binding, not only look incredible but also ensure lasting playability. The cutaway body offers effortless access to every fret, making this a perfect pick for players seeking versatility. This instrument is a truly unique specimen, offering a distinct voice and solid, stunning playability that’s built to inspire for decades to come!
From Collings Guitars
As the bigger, bolder cousin to our classic C10 model and the newest body shape in our acoustic line up, 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 and non-scalloped bracing design provide exceptional 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
