0 Model 14-Fret with Englemann Spruce and Koa
Like an outstanding dish you must experience once again, this guitar, titillates and delights the senses with its savory attributes. This exceptional instrument is simply breathtaking not only for its gorgeous appearance, but also for its outstanding voice. One seems to be the idealized mirror analog of the other. Just as the beautifully delineated, richly figured Flamed koa is sumptuously complemented by the sensuous translucence of the Western Shaded sunburst, similarly, the voice of this instrument is endowed with an exceptionally well defined bass register that infuses the mid-range and treble registers with an ethereal clarity and imbues its mesmerizing, lustrous tone with a radiant timbre.
“With the exception of the Baby, the 0 is our smallest guitar and is offered with the same shorter scale found on the 12-fret 00. Although measuring only 13.5 inches in width (smaller than a typical classical guitar), the Collings 0 has tone and volume that belies its first impression as being less than full-sized. It can double as a travel guitar or a small OM, performing both roles equally well. The same neck and woods options offered with larger Collings models are available on the 0 as well, giving players an almost infinite range of tonal possibilities.” - From the Collings Website
