Player Reviews:
"I'm a big fan of 12 fretters for the sweet tone the bridge location creates. I'm also a big fan of softer tops paired with Koa. The Engelmann Spruce pairs beautifully here both cosmetically and tonally. If you are seeking a small guitar with natural beauty and Collings clarity, this is for you." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a sweet little guitar with extreme clarity and focus. Ideal for recording." - Al Petteway
