1999 Collings 00-2HK - 00, 002H Koa Acoustic Guitar
Here's another fabulous 1990s Collings, this one in amazing flamed Koa. The set of Koa here is breathtaking with tight fiddle-back curl unlike anything we've seen before. This is a very, very special set of wood. The Sitka Top is perfect and full of silking, proof it's perfectly quartered. The voice is brilliant, articulate and powerful. The condition is perfect, coming to us from it's careful original owner.

Player Reviews:
"If you are a Koa fan, you won't believe this.... Be sure to click on the back image to zoom in and see the amazing fiddle back figure in this Koa wood. The Koa body is powerful and articulate and pairs perfectly with the Sitka top that lends it's warmth and clarity. Many of these Collings from the 90s strike us as exceptional and this one certainly moves us." - Paul Heumiller
"A classic guitar with vintage styling and vintage sound. Amazing Koa!" - Al Petteway
