This Collings AT-00 nods at tradition while, frankly speaking, blowing by it from the passing lane.

This is the first-ever round-hole Collings AT-00, built for the 2025 Fretboard Summit in Chicago. As the guitarosphere has come to expect from Collings instruments produced for exhibition, this archtop spares nothing in the way of artistry or material excellence; and its marriage of tone & aesthetics is incomparably, uniquely Collings. Featuring a blistered Sugar Maple body, a premium-grade Lutz Spruce top, and Macassar Ebony fingerboard, bridge, and tailpiece, this guitar nods at tradition while, frankly speaking, blowing by it from the passing lane. The sound is lush, complex, and bell-like, while retaining the clarity and balance of a well-seasoned instrument. A sensational instrument, by the measure of anyone who plays guitar, with a custom-made Calton Case.
