Collings C-10 - L-00 Acoustic Guitar
The Collings C10 is a terriffic take on the 00 body design. The beloved Gibson L-00 set the bar for small guitars with a big bite. Collings improves on the original by simply building better, cleaner guitars. This one is a beauty in figured Koa with a Red Cedar, a combination that provides punch, sparkle and fullness. One little beauty...

Player Reviews:
"The C10 has a big following from players who like strong projection and that wonderful focused, small body sound. This one has a great snap to the bass and handles low tunings as well as standard with ease. The Cedar tames the bite of the Koa and together they make a unique voice on this 00. You can pull off the blues, celtic and sweet things with this one guitar. I'm impressed with it's ability to morph, it gets subdued when I play easy and has quite a bark when you lay into it." - Paul Heumiller
