Collings C10 Custom Shop Select Honduran Mahogany

What a stunner here from the fabulous workshop of Bill Collings: All Collings are custom to a degree but the designated Custom Shop guitars are a step ahead! If you love smaller bodied acoustics, the Collings C10 model might be just what you’re looking for. Although larger than a 00 this custom C10 is super comfy and light, a finger pickers dream - yet also wide enough at the base to give deep balanced bass projection allowing chordal melodies to ring out loud and clear.

Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, this is a fabulous blues or strumming guitar, yet equally responsive to some dynamic finger picking, thanks to its narrow waist and small upper bout for focused response. The TV yellow finish, together with the waverly vintage tuners and ivoroid designed buttons, give this model an extra special look.

Collings says this is the ideal guitar for players who switch between electrics and acoustics, thanks to the more rounded neck profile and the small oval neck heel, allowing unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock's lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models also offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike. The all mahogany body gives this C10 Custom a warm and smooth sound, with extremely good sustain. The mahogany neck has ebony fingerboard, and a Luxury Collings hard case is included in the package.
