2006/7 Collings 0002H - 000, 000-2H Acoustic Guitar
The 12 Fret Slothead design creates that distinctive 000 sound by putting the bridge in the widest part of the bout where can impart it's power to the fullest. The slotted headstock increases the decay of the notes slightly, so the notes get out of your way for style such as blues and rags. This particular guitar has been played a lot so it's sounds amazing. It's been well cared for so it's in excellent condition, but it's wide open tonally like only a well played guitar can be.

Player Reviews:
"Many players agree that the quintessential blues guitar is a small body 12 fret, slothead. Those ingredients just seem to conjure up the fast, full notes and quick decay that make for that classic blues voice. This guitar has been played enough to be really lively and responsive. It's a bit looser feeling than many Collings probably because it's well played. Just a great Collings 000." - Paul Heumiller
"This is the perfect fingerstyle instrument. The sound is balanced with sweet highs and punchy lows. No woofiness here." - Al Petteway
