Description: Collings 01-12 Fret Traditional Series Sunburst This is a Collings model 01 Traditional 12 fret in mint condition, short scale with a AAA Adirondack, sunburst top, see full specs below. It was custom ordered in 2021 and cost $8000. The current cost is over $9000 with a wait time of more than a 1 year. I have owned many Collings and this is the best sounding of them all, with truly unbelievable tone. This guitar is listed locally in Nashville and is subject to prior sale. The Collings 01-12 Fret Traditional offers a fantastic alternative to a vintage guitar, and features luthier hand-selected Adirondack spruce top wood and Honduran mahogany back and sides. The “Traditional” guitars are built using animal protein glue and a very thin, all nitrocellulose lacquer finish, making them exceptionally dynamic and responsive. The bracing and tone woods are carefully selected and adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs, with a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection. To complete the package, the 01-12 Fret Traditional includes a Collings' original vintage-inspired case, designed and built by hand in-house for an unrivaled level of quality, fit and aesthetic that enhances the experience of owning a fine instrument. First introduced in 1854, the articulate tone and convenient size of the "0" 12-Fret body dimensions have remained popular to this day.
