The C-00 is a soulful, vintage-inspired 14-fret acoustic guitar that brings a raw, period-correct character to the boutique C10 lineup. Influenced by the iconic 00 models of the early to mid-1930s, this instrument is engineered for players who want a honky, punchy midrange and the reduced string tension of a short-scale design. Unlike the polished and shimmery voice typical of standard Collings acoustics, the C-00 provides a drier, more fundamental tone. With a hand-voiced baked Sitka spruce top and solid Honduran mahogany back and sides, it delivers a woody thump and exceptional note separation. From the closed-in sunburst to the rosewood fingerboard and cut-through saddle, every detail evokes the grit and charm of a pre-war classic.
