This Collings 0002H is a beautifully crafted instrument! A dream guitar for the player wanting one of the best 000 12-fret money can buy. This 0002H has a custom ordered 1.75" wider nut width.
Although our 000 has the same width and depth as the OM, the longer 12-fret body typically produces more bass and overall volume. This makes the Collings 000 ideal for string-band purists or any guitarist who wants maximum power from a comfortably-sized instrument with an elegant, old-time appearance.
Along with the usual options in woods, binding, and inlay , it is also available with a graceful cutaway.
