Comments: "This is the perfect fingerstyle instrument. The sound is balanced with sweet highs and punchy lows. No woofiness here. " - Al Petteway

"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
