This Collings 0001 brings back memories of the time when we stocked the model in a varnish finish (remember those days?). What a sound! The Koa / German Spruce tonewood pairing typically yields a very rich, woody sound with extra top end sparkle ... but really, this guitar has a way of enveloping you with its cascading sustain that you wonder, "Is there anything this instrument can't do?" No, no there isn't. It's a beautiful fingerpicking guitar for a player who demands focus and lushness all at once; and it holds up beautifully under a flatpick as well. An heirloom quality guitar from our friends at Collings.
