As one of our smallest offerings, the 14-fret 0 can double as both a travel instrument or small OM-style guitar, equally at home on a couch or a stage.  While it has less low end response than larger models, it provides a uniquely round, punchy tone with the oft-coveted “small body character”, along with impressive volume and headroom. The same neck and wood options offered with larger Collings models are available on the 0, as well, giving players a variety of tonal and aesthetic choices.

01 vs 02H vs 03

While all three models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

  • Our 1-style (01) features Honduran mahogany back and sides with tortoise body binding and butt wedge, b/w/b/w top purfling, a walnut backstrip, dot fingerboard inlays, and a simpler 1-style rosette.
  • Our 2-style (02H) features East Indian rosewood back and sides with ivoroid body binding and butt wedge, herringbone top purfling, a “zipper” backstrip, diamonds and squares fingerboard inlays, and a more intricate 2-style rosette.
  • Our 3-style (03) features East Indian rosewood back and sides with ivoroid body/fingerboard/peghead binding and butt wedge, no herringbone top purfling, a “chevron” backstrip, no fingerboard inlays, and an abalone rosette.

Standard (01) vs Traditional (01 T)

While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

  • Our standard series instruments (non-T) offer the classic Collings voice, which features shimmery highs, a punchy midrange, a tight and clean low end, and maximum headroom with a quick response.  The standard neck profile is our Modified V with 1 11/16″ nut width and 2 3/16″ string spacing.  Standard instruments also offer a wider range of custom options than Traditionals.
  • Our Traditional series instruments (T) offer a slightly looser, more “broken in” feel and tone, featuring a rounder high end and fuller low midrange, along with our Traditional aesthetic appointments, such as gold MOP inlays and custom wood purflings and rosette.  Traditional models also feature an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer body finish, no tongue brace, and a unique neck construction designed to complement the looser feel and voicing, along with our Traditional neck carve.  Due to the vintage-inspired vision for these guitars, Traditional instruments are offered with limited custom options.
