Collings 02H 12-fret Lefty (2024)

No need to adjust your screen; the image is not inverted. This is, indeed, a left-handed, 12-fret 0 model. We don't see enough lefties in general, much less sub-OM size, let alone one in such excellent condition, so it is great to have this potent example to offer!

This Collings 0 has a big, clear voice with superb string-to-string balance. As with other Collings 12-fret models, it has a satsifying fullness and power that belies its size. (Yes, it is always fun and humbling for us righties to try to play upside-down chord shapes—good to maintain that neuroplasticity.)

If you have been on the hunt for an excellent, clean preowned Collings small body, and you pick, throw, and write lefty, put this one on your short list. The holidays are right around the corner. We would never suggest this (wink), but we've heard if you conspicuously leave the laptop out, web browser open to this page, someone who loves you might take notice...
