The Collings 000 has the same general appearance as the Collings 00, but in a larger size with longer string scale. Although it’s the same width and depth as the OM, the longer body typically produces more bass and overall volume. This makes the Collings 000 ideal for string-band purists or any guitarist who wants a maximum of power from an instrument of comfortable size with an elegant, old-time appearance.
This 000 features a German Spruce top-wood. German Spruce, a special appointment on this guitar, provides a rich, complex tone and is perfect for many players who play fingerstyle as well as flatpick. German Spruce is stiffer than Sitka, providing more headroom and power, yet more flexible than Adirondack so that it responds well to a lighter attack. This allows the guitar to be played fingerstyle while maintaining a high level of comfort, without sacrificing the invaluable headroom offered by a stiffer spruce. It can take heavy flatpicking and just keep getting louder!
The tone of this guitar is massive, very deserving of the Collings' name on the headstock. Low end is rich and powerful, while the highs are crystal clear and extremely responsive. The overall sound is loud and punchy and sounds incredibly pure and sweet played softly.
The custom appointments to this 2011 Collings 0001G include a Slotted Peghead and Collings installed Strap Button. This guitar is in excelent condition with the exception of minor dents and scratches to the top, back and sides, none of which are though the finish and can be seen in the detailed images below. There is no distinguishable fretwear and it includes the original hardshell case.
