Collings Guitars - 2005 - 0003 Cutaway - German Spruce - Brazilian Rosewood - Used

Mass Street Music

Description

This Collings 0003 is an exquisite example of quality construction and premium tonewoods in a mid-2000s Collings. Featuring a rare, AAA-grade Brazilian back and sides paired with a beautiful, and responsive German spruce top this is an incredible Collings build.


Thanks to the smaller-body size paired with the longer 25 1/2" scale length, this 000 has a tremendous amount of power and projection, equally as responsive to a light touch while being able to handle a harder strum. With a deep robust low-end, and a high-end that rings out clearly, this cutaway build is one of the most versatile Collings body-styles around.


Here in Excellent condition, there are a few minor dents to the finish, along with two  finish sinks in the book-matched Brazilian (see photos). This is an incredible Collings with the highest quality tonewoods available. Includes a Collings hardshell case.
