Collings C-00 ‘Sunburst’ 00 Acoustic Guitar PRE-ORDER

PRE-ORDER: This stunning new Collings model is due to land in December 2026, and will be the very first in Australia! Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime guitar from one of the world's finest builders.

The Collings C-00 is a soulful, vintage-inspired 14-fret acoustic that brings raw, period-correct character to the boutique C10 lineup. Influenced by the iconic 00 models of the early to mid-1930s, it is built for players who want a honky, punchy midrange and the reduced string tension of a short 24-7/8" scale. Unlike the polished, shimmery voice typical of standard Collings guitars, the C-00 offers a drier, more fundamental tone, with a woody thump and exceptional note separation from its hand-voiced Sitka spruce top and solid Honduran mahogany back and sides. Ideal for blues, old-time, folk, and aggressive fingerstyle playing.

Every detail is designed to evoke the grit and charm of a pre-war classic, from the closed-in C-00 sunburst top and ultra-thin high gloss nitrocellulose finish to the rosewood fingerboard and straight-style bridge, ivoroid binding, and cut-through saddle. A full V neck with a rounded fingerboard edge, a haircut peghead, and nickel Waverly tuners with oval ivoroid buttons complete the picture. It is the mojo of a 1930s mail-order classic, with the world-class intonation and build quality that only Collings can deliver. Supplied in a Collings deluxe hardshell case.
