Collings 01 Traditional

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Collings 01 Traditional is a vintage-inspired pre-war style acoustic with superb tonal qualities. The secret to its traditional sound mainly come from the different bracing pattern and the tonewood choice. Another key factor is the Ultra Thin finish which lets the guitar breathe with an organic warmth. Collings guitars are some of the highest quality you can find and the levels of craft presented in the 01 Traditional are second to none.

Features We Love:

Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish

This guitar has had a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish applied. While it keeps with the traditional look it also combines with the natural tone of the wood to give a very lively and reactive sound, putting you in full control of your playing.

Tonewood Combination

The tonewoods used on this model gives it a very traditional sound. The Sitka spruce on top and Honduran mahogany back and sides create a crisp tone with a good degree of attack. There is also a warmth and beautiful balance plus plenty of projection!

Hand Voiced

Each guitar by Collings has a hand-selected top that has been picked for it's density and rigidity. It's then graduated down to the desired thickness to achieve premium tonal potential.

Highlights:

• 01 body shape gives balances playing comfort with gorgeous tone
• Tonewoods and bracing give it a very traditional and familiar sound
• Hand selected top woods ensure these guitars are as close to perfection as possible
