The new Traditional Series variation of the classic 12-fret 00 take a vintage inspired approach to voicing and construction designed to produce a strong fundamental response and open feel, with rounder highs and less overtone complexity compared to the signature Collings sound. The combination of an open slotted peghead, shorter 24 7/8″ scale length, and pyramid bridge paired with Collings’ ultra-thin nitrocellulose satin lacquer finish and newly redesigned neck support make for a woody and articulate voice that exemplifies everything you love about the T-Series.
With a longer upper bout than its 14-fret counterpart, the 00 offers rich, balanced tone with excellent note separation, making it a fine choice for fingerstyle guitarists, singer-songwriters, or anyone else looking for a balance of comfort, volume, and responsiveness. The upgraded Adirondack Spruce top paired with the Honduran Mahogany back and sides adds to the quickness of response with the volume, clarity and punch of vintage build.
