A real piece of magic from Bill Collings and co., this 1996 0002H BaaaA has opened up handsomely and is wide awake. Tons of projections for a 000, and a great playing setup that works for both flatpicking and fingerstyle—this thing does it all in high style. Killer Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides with Collings’ AAA rating, paired with Adirondack Spruce on top. Herringbone top trim plus slotted headstock, Waverly tuners, and Maple bindings on the body. Moreover, this Collings comes in a custom Calton flight case to keep it safe and sound on those rare moments when you don’t have it in your arms!

Bill Collings and his team nailed their 000 design early on, like this absolute cannon from 1996. Opened up and raring to go! 
You only get power and articulation like this with time--over twenty years in this case. A 1996 Collings 000 with AAA Brazilian and Adirondack; pretty much perfect in my book. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
