This Collings C10 Deluxe is a beautiful piece with a Sitka Spruce in a Sunburst finish and East Indian Rosewood back & sides.

Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, the Collings C10 is a leaner alternative with the narrow waist and small upper bout resulting in a precise, focused response. Of all our acoustic models, the C10 is perhaps the easiest for electric guitarists to adapt to, thanks in part to the more rounded neck profile. The small oval neck heel is ideally suited to the optional cutaway, which allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock’s lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike.

• Our C10 features Honduran mahogany back and sides, a 25 1/2″ scale length (short scale optional), rope top purfling, a walnut backstrip, and no binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
• Our C10 Deluxe features  East Indian rosewood back and sides, a 25 1/2″ scale length (short scale optional), b/w/b/w/b top purfling, a maple/rosewood backstrip, and ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
