Collings 003 12 Fret - Sunburst

The Collings 003 is a beautifully refined take on the small 12-fret 00 guitar, combining vintage-inspired character with the precision and consistency of a modern Collings build. Its compact body and shorter scale make it exceptionally comfortable to play, while the Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood combination produces a balanced, clear voice with plenty of warmth, definition and responsiveness. The 12-fret design gives it an intimate, expressive character that works especially well for fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment and lighter strumming, while still providing plenty of projection when you need it. This example has an especially handsome appearance, with a sunburst top and elegant torch peghead inlay adding a distinctive vintage-inspired touch. With its refined appointments and exceptionally responsive voice, this 003 is a sophisticated small-body guitar that captures much of the charm of a vintage 00 while delivering the build quality Collings is known for.
